You are normal for age 13. Your foreskin will retract later when it has developed more.

The better question is can a circumcised person ever have a real sex life without the nerves in the foreskin.
Hi Guest:
It is not absolutely necessary to have a foreskin that will retract. A few men live their entire lives with a non-retractable foreskin. They can masturbate, have penetrative sex, get married, and father children with a foreskin that does not retract. Some believe that a penis with a tight foreskin has more sensation and that sex is better. However there is no scientific evidence one way or the other.
It depends on just how tight your foreskin is. If it is really tight and absolutely won't retract, then you can have penetrative sex without pain. On the other hand, if it just a little bit tight, then it is likely to be forced back during sex and that will hurt because it is tight.
Almost all boys are born with a foreskin that does not retract. This is normal. It takes years for the ability to retract to develop. About ½ of boys have a retractable foreskin by 10.4 years of age. Many adolescents still have foreskins that have tips that are too narrow to pass back over the penis head. These foreskins may be gently stretched over a period of time to cause them to widen.
It is normal for teens to have a foreskin that does not retract. One’s foreskin is still developing. One can help it develop by stretching it.
When your penis is erect, gently pull your foreskin back against the head of the penis. As the head attempts to pass through the foreskin it will stretch the skin a little. Do this every day and in a few weeks or months your foreskin will widen and you will be able to retract your foreskin. Do NOT force retraction. Do NOT cause yourself pain.
It works by tissue expansion. Stretching skin induces “mitosis” which is a word that means “division of cells”. New skin cells are formed and the skin expands but it takes some time. The increase in size is permanent. Be patient and give mitosis time to work.
The important thing is to put the skin under tension every day so that it will grow wider.
Hi More Coffee:
Your GP was wrong. Narrow foreskins that don't retract may be made retractable by:
1. application of topical steroid ointment.
2. manual stretching to cause tissue expansion.
3. preputioplasty.
Your GP is at least three decades out of date.
If a foreskin is so tight that it will not retract under any circumstances, then the owner may have sex without pain. If a foreskin is just loose enough that the foreskin will be forced back during intercourse, then intercourse is likely to be painful. If a foreskin is loose enough to glide smoothly back and forth, then the owner may have sex without pain.
If your partner wants to go down on you, then have her suck the foreskin. Most of the nerves are in the foreskin so the foreskin should receive adequate attention.
I’d like to know too
That's the same with me. My skin only pulls back a bit until it hurts but only when I am erect. when I am not it pulls back with ease
