ahh you might have a condition called phimosis and your skin might be to tight to pull back you can either take some kind if steriods and do stretching exersies or you into the shower and pull back little by little until you get what you want...might hurt but it might be worth it

See a doctor. This can be treated.

agree with quoted post. Mine was like yours when I was 15. At that time I was thinking this is natural. But one day I read that foreskin should be completely pulled and I pulled little by little. then that worked. of course I am uncut. Now 18

I could only pull back mine completely when I turned 12. Before my foreskin was sort of stuck to the glans and could only expose the tip. When it once started to solve it was retractable within some weeks. This condition is normal. So maybe yours is not too tight.
I remember I could clearly see that they were stuck together when I pulled back my foreskin as far it was possible.

It is up to the patient whether they would want one or not though.
The doctor isn't going to knock him out and give him a circumcision without the patient's consent.

As a few people have now mentioned, steroid creams tend to help in situations like this. If you're comfortable with going to the doctor, I'd suggest that's what you should do.

Exactly the same here.

There is also the option of minor surgery that does NOT involve circumcision but can ease the foreskin. If you do seek help you need to be very clear that you do not wish to be circumcised.

If anyone (Doctor or parents) try to tell you circumcision is 'normal and routine' be aware that the World Health Organisation (i.e. the body representing the medical professions of the whole world) advise (http://www.malecircumcision.org/media/documents/MC_Global_Trends_Determinants.pdf)that circumcision is only done as a last resort. Circumcision is the easy and lazy option for doctors to recommend, since they can just book you in, problem solved (in their eyes).

Try to wash it with cold water,it would help.

Why don't you wanna tell anyone? Why not your school nurse? The other posts on here were all good. A doctor is a good place to go for advice, & there are special stretching exercises he/she can expain to you, to loosen your foreskin over a few weeks.

What they said ^^

[DarkHorse4eva]

Pull it a little more back every time you shower, eventually you can take it all the way back

[BakeBake]

Just try and pull it back slowly.

A friend of mine has a tight foreskin. He just did the courageous thing and went to the doctor. He was given a cream to apply. Now he is as happy as can be.
