The important thing is that you can pull it down when soft to wash under it when you shower. This will keep it clean. Also, if it slides up and down a little during sex and masturbation it feels good since it's lubricated on the inside, and it's rubbing the head.
This is common among young teens and guys who have not tried pulling their foreskin back much, that's because the foreskin is attached to the head when you're young to prevent the head from getting dirty. Usually it separates before puberty, but in your case you have to give it a little help. Now that you probably masturbate and pull it back to wash under it (only takes about less than 10 seconds) it'll start sliding back more and more. If you have a tight foreskin, you can actually stretch it like I did when you shower. It only took a few weeks and it hasn't given me a single problem ever since. =)
Work on getting it less tight. Here's what you do. When you shower and and you're soaping up your body, pull the foreskin back the most you can without forcing it, and then wash the head with the other hand. If you do this each time you shower for a few weeks, you'll see results. It'll slide back a little more every few days.
Now, as for the sensitivity, as studies have proven, the foreskin keeps the head sensitive. That's not a bad thing, since that creates pleasure. However, you don't want it too sensitive. Yours is just too sensitive because it hasn't been used much before. So you just have to rub it gently at first for some weeks (start off with just water and then every few days try to rub a little more) and you'll see the difference. Then you'll be able to rub the head however you want. =) So in a way, those two things are tied.
So yeah, work on it and in a few weeks you'll like it. =) And of course, feel free to e-mail me from my profile if you have any questions!
You do NOT need circumcision. And you have every right to remain uncircumcised, as after all, circumcision does carry risks and most 'benefits' are unfounded or contradicted. Common risks of circumcision are more difficulty with masturbation (it was made popular in the USA to stop masturbation, after all), and lower sensitivity. There's a reason why the USA is the last developed nation doing it to newborns, and our rates are falling; it's as low as 14% in some states by now. Research it more in the link below:

In the end, if the stretching fails after a few weeks, you can ask a doctor for a cream. It's 0.05% betamethasone, which is successful in over 90% of cases. You can even take the study to him. It's a really inexpensive cream; Wal-Mart sells it for $4 with prescription and online you can buy it for about $10 at drugstore.com, for example.

But focus on stretching it first. That should give you results after some time.
You pull it back over the penis head. If it hurts try it in the shower because the warm water will make it easier.
You are fully retracted when it goes all the way over your penis head.
I agree with the answer above. If it's tight and hard to pull back then follow these instructions: http://w3t.org/u/6gat
If it still seems to be attached to the glans then don't force it, you are still young and it might not have separated yet.
You should be able to tell when it's fully retracted because the head will be exposed, also it won't go any further past a certain point.
Although it is attached in infants and often tight in teens, the foreskin is retractable in most adults. So yes there are benefits in retracting it because you can clean under it (if you can't do that already when soft) and also it should make things feel nice for masturbation/sex because you can slide it back and forth. However some guys find it doesn't go back and as long as it's not causing any pain, discomfort or hygiene issues then that is fine too.
Well I certainly know more about it than you Kris if you only advice is to get it "snipped".
your foreskin should go back easly,if it wont prob need circumcised..
if it bothers you then you need to get it snipped.
Harriet, you seem have alot of knowledge about the male organ ?
