It's wrong to hug the turret in nearly every other situation.
You shouldn't really push your lane in the early game. For like 10 minutes you should strive to freezing the lane, merely last hitting minions and following your support into trades.
You should really make the most of your support. For instance, I usually play Nami as support and I build a lot of mana regeneration so I can poke and heal with my W. I try and focus on denying the enemy AD carry from farming by poking with W and Q. I expect my ad carry to follow up on poking when he sees my Q go off. Although most people I meet are too slow but doesn't matter.
And don't rage at your support.... Yesterday I was playing a game with me on Nami with a Draven ad carry and I've gotten a couple of kills in the lane instead of my carry. Everyone was raging at me but they failed to realize that I had secured the kills when my adc wasn't able to. And there was one time when we were pushing the turret and Soraka was guarding it. I decided to go for a kill while the carry decided to go for the turret. So I use everything I've got and kill her while the carry didn't attack her even once. Needless to say, I got blamed for kill stealing...
And also, there is no kill stealing. KS stands for kill secured. Learn to play by that rule and you will have a much easier time.
