That sounds quite normal to me :yes:
Yes, which should be the part below the head. It's unhygienic if you don't wash the glans and you can't really do this if you can't retract the foreskin.
I quickly found something which might help you, but I don't know if it's legitimate and the best thing for you to do, imo, is to talk to a professional, i.e. visit a near GUM clinic, depending on where you live. You can talk to anyone there about advice and ask questions etc - in my experience they have been very friendly.

ETA: i don't really think this is a problem enough to see a professional if you can wash your glans while cleaning.
The part that is attached is underneath your penis and attaches your foreskin to the glans (head) is called the frenulum (a very sensitive area). This is completely normal.
As long as you can pull your foreskin back enough to clean it every day, it does not sound like you have much of a problem.
If it bothers you that much, you can try some stretching techniques to make it looser and pull back further.
Use baby oil, Vaseline intensive care hand and body lotion, Nivea or any bland cream as a lubricant. Pull the foreskin forward away from the body several times then pull it back and hold it in the stretched position for several minutes twice daily. When the hole is large enough insert your thumb , or smaller finger if necessary, into the foreskin and grip the glans ( the head of the penis) between finger and thumb. Roll the foreskin over the thumb until the tight ring is white with stretching. Hold it in this position as long as you can at a time - say 5 minutes. . Repeat as often as you have the time and enthusiasm for. If later you find there is room for two or more fingers then use them.
If time permits even better results may be possible if you soak your penis in warm water for some minutes before you start to stretch.
Take care to avoid premature retraction beyond the corona of the glans to avoid paraphimosis (where the foreskin gets stuck behind the glans of your penis.
Ideally, you want to reach a stage where the head of your penis is exposed when your penis is erect and the foreskin is able to glide back and forth over the top of the glans.
One fine day it made it made rraaatsh like a tearing a piece of paper and I could pull it all the way down. It wasn't a meaty connection (so no wound), just a sticky connection, i dunno... I wasn't particularly unhygienic tho
Same here, well you can basiacly masterbate until one day it "comes off" thats what i did.
Not a big thing to worry about, its just where you have pulled it abit too much, dont try to pull it back too much.
Just a little every day/night and one day it will pop off:thumb:
I think I may of had the same problem when I was a nipper, in fact I think I was about the same age. Just leave it and let it sort it's self out... your only young and things won't be as they should yet dude.
