no. i would seek a doctor.
That is not necessarily a problem, He is now reaching an age however where he will probably want it to move back all the way and so long as there is no adhesion between the foreskin and the head of the penis he should be able to literally stretch the foreskin to the point where he will be able to pull it right back, go to the top of this page and ask " how do you stretch your foreskin" and you will find a lot of info on it.

Yes. The foreskin or prepuce covers the glans penis. or at least is usualy does when the penis is flacid, sometimes they may be short showing more or less of the glans at all times.
You are fourteen and you have a normal sized penis but have only seen the tip of your glans is this normal?
If you cannot retract the foreskin by the age of 14, that is not normal. It could be a condition called phimosis and you should see your doctor to see how to get it corrected. When you are uncircumcised, a cheezy substance builds up between your foreskin and the glans of your penis called smegma. If not washed out properly it can lead to penile cancer.
What does the word foreskin mean?
The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis.
What is a long foreskin?
By examination of the word 'long' one would assume the question is referring to a foreskin greater than average. Average foreskin covers the glans of the penis completely when soft. When erect average foreskin typically slides back and exposes some if not all of the glans. If a man has 'long' foreskin, by description alone it suggests that the foreskin is of a greater/longer amount than average. Some men with longer foreskins can have an erection with no exposure of the glans. In other cases the foreskin can be long enough to cover the glans during erection with excess at the tip. Typically the position of the foreskin is dependant upon the elasticity and size of the frenum, which attatches the foreskin to the underside of the glans. The more flexible and abundant the frenum is, the more likely the foreskin is able to slide up and down.

Is it good for you when the skin completely surounds the penis?
The penis of a newborn child has not entirely finished in its development and is usually at that stage still firmly attached to the glans penis like the fingernails are to the finger. this is a natural way for the penis to be and in time the foreskin comes away from the glans. there is no need to be concerned about it not retracting. the foreskin is likely to become retractable within the first few years of life but may take until or after puberty to do so. once the penis is used for sexual intercourse or masturbation however there are definite advantages in the foreskin being able to be retracted. and if it turns out that it is too tight to pull back over the glans and back again then it is time to undergo some "foreskin stretching exercises". just look up foreskin stretching on the internet and you will find many pages that will give you first class advice. The first thing to remember is that the foreskin is a very important part of the penis, its function, its protection and very importantly its performance for both yourself and your pardner. IF this about not being circumcised, then not being circumcised is perfectly natural and safe. Many millions of men live that way w/o any problem.
What is forkskin?
It's foreskin, not forkskin. Foreskin is the skin that covers the glans penis (penis head). Every male is born with it, but it's sometimes removed by circumcision. The only countries in which the majority of the population are circumcised are USA and Israel. Jewish people circumcise their boys for religious reasons, while Americans do it by tradition. The foreskin protects the glans and keeps it healthy and shiny, while circumcision allows the glans to become tough and less sensitive. During sexual intercourse the foreskin bunches up stimulating the female g-spot while cushioning penis and the vagina from friction causes by the bare glans rubbing against the vulva. Most men with a foreskin can retract it at well, and some do this to urinate or masturbate. Most men's foreskin will retract by itself when the penis becomes erect. In this state intact, and circumcised penises look the same other than the frenulum on the intact penis. If you want to learn more, read the wikipedia article on the foreskin.
