15 And Foreskin Does Not Retract Much At All: Do I Have Phimosis?

Hello,

I am a 15 year old male and very recently I found out that my foreskin is not acting like normal. I knew that I had to clean the outside of my penis, but I was never told that I had to clean out the inside too. I tried pulling my foreskin back, and when flaccid it goes about 1/3 of the way down to the bottom of the glans, but when it is erect I can barely pull it down without pain, and I can only bring it about 1-2cm below my urine hole (urethra?).  When pulling it back in a warm bath, I saw a lot of yellowish lumps, and I presume that it is smegma. I managed to clean some of it away, but it was slightly painful when putting the shower spray on that part of my glans (it was very sensitive)but I'm sure there is still a lot left under the foreskin that I can't pull down, and under my glans. Also, my frenulum is still attached and when I pull it to as low as I can (when flaccid), it seems like the frenulum is almost reaching it's maximum stretching point. Is this normal?

I read that there are some stretching techniques, do they work, which one(s) should I do? I really do not want to be circumcised and I find this a very embarrassing topic to talk with my parents. Please help!
