Touch and goes during solo flight (student pilot in USA)

Hi,

On my first solo flight my instructor told me that I have to do Stop and Gos (taxi off runway and taxi back to beginning of runway and take off again) rather than touch and goes. He said that it is technically against the rules to do touch and go during solo - I didn't ask any questions at the time.

I am 16. I asked a friend who did his solo at the same age (last year) and he said that he did touch and goes.

Has anyone heard of this or read regulations concerning this issue?

Thank you in advance!
