It doesn't hurt that bad for adults. Unlike newborns, you get put to sleep. Ask for anti-erection pills to reduce the pain afterwards. You won't have to go through what newborns go through.

And I have one friend who got cut as a teen, too. Being uncircumcised you have the advantage of choosing; personally I'm staying uncut, though, as most guys in the world are... My friend said it hurt more to have his wisdom teeth pulled out.

You are only 15, so you really should not be making this decision yet. Once it's done, it's gone forever, and you may find that by the time you are 18, you bitterly regret having it done. You might even move out of Texas some time in your life, and in another area, you might be the one who is "different." Caving in to peer pressure at 15 will make sex less pleasurable for you and your partner for the entire rest of your life. This is too big a change to make just because the other guys had it done. Follow your parents' culture proudly, and just say "that's the way it it with Polish guys" to anyone who comments on it.
Please, wait until you are finished with puberty to decide this; it is too important to do under the pressures of wanting to fit it. It's a permanent change for a temporary problem you're having. Just hang tough for a little while longer; you will be extremely glad you did!

A. Yes you should be nervous, but there's nothing wrong with having a bit of nerves before general surgery.
B. I've never had one before, but as a nurse having nursed many patients after circumcision, it is sore after, also it's according to your pain threshold. Some people tolerate pain worse than others.
C. Breast implants are more painful.
D. It's best to have it done, hygienic and culturally yes, just ask the nurses for pain relief as soon as you feel the pain coming on, once at home continue with pain tablets until you feel comfortable. Good luck

no you shouldn't be nervous, a 1 if that. they use anesthetics now days so don't let anyone scare you with that. simpler surgery than implants, slightly more complicated than pulling a tooth.
you won't regret it. i got circumcised at 23, am 26 now and it is alot better. only thing is no sex for 6 weeks and a couple weeks being uncomfortable in pants

ouch! I guess there is always the chance you will wake up and they accidentally cut the whole thing off because the doctor had been drinking, but the odds of that happening are slim, only about 25%.

Dunno, I was only a few weeks old when I had it done;) I guess they give you an anasthetic beforehand.
