I'm 19. i've been keeping my foreskin pulled back all the time for over a year now. is it normal and safe to do so...?

Bad things can happen to your penis if your foreskin is continually retracted. A real danger is if you aren't able to pull the foreskin back where it belongs. I would consider that to be a medical emergency. What you're doing has no beneficial effects.
