1) Yes that is quite normal. Range of normal for erection is 5-7.5 inches. Flaccid is kind of irrelevant because it isn’t indicative of anything. Some guys are so fat their flaccid size is 0 because their fat grows up around it and it no longer visible.
2) Growth is possible until the age of 21, roughly speaking
3) The term you mean is called “Phimosis.” It means your foreskin is too tight to be pulled back. It has Absolutely no effect on your growth. It can be repaired by a doctor, either by applying a topical medicine that loosens the skin or special tools to stretch it. A last option is circumcision, which frankly I think is better, but to each his own I guess. Yes they can do to adults; they use anesthetic and it’s no big deal.
4)The “Bend” in the shaft is called Peyronie’s. True, all men have a slight bend in any direction, but more serious bends are this condition. Hard to have sex if it’s 45 degrees off, know what I mean? It does not affect your growth though it can get worse if there is an injury. It can be treated too, either through Vitamin E or surgery if it is a significant bend.
5)Fixing either condition will not make it bigger, because they were never affecting the size in the first place.
6)Addressed in each previous question’s part.

1) 80% of adult penises are between 5 and 6.5 inches when fully erect. You’re a good size for your age, so don’t worry.
2) It may still grow, but since the rate of growth slows down towards the end of puberty, it won’t be much. A lot of penises have a bend of some sort. As long as it doesn’t prevent you from penetrating your partner, you’ll be fine, some women actually like bent penises, I know my wife does. As for the tight foreskin, you can stretch it yourself, or you may want to see your doctor to get some steroid cream to help it. If the problem is severe, it’s called phimosis, but I doubt if you have that.
Stretch it in the bath or shower – the hot water helps to soften the skin.
When erect, pull the skin back, not so much that it hurts, and hold it for a minute or two. When flaccid, you can insert a clean finger under the foreskin, and gently stretch it – don’t do it so much that it hurts, as this can cause micro tears, that then heal with scars – not what you want.
It will take several weeks, or even months, before you see any results, but keep it up daily and you’ll get there
Pulling the foreskin back whenever you pee will help, as will masturbating.
3) Probably not, see answer to 2.
4) See answer to 2.
5) The bend may be fixed with surgery, but unless it stops you from having sex, it’s not worth it. It’ll still be the same length. The tight foreskin won’t stop it from reaching it’s full length either.
6) See answer to 2.
Incidentally, if anyone suggests getting circumcised, ignore them, they don’t know what they’re talking about. If the doctor suggests it, get another doctor.
