just wondering if this is normal... it seems to take me longer to start peeing now (a few seconds) is this normal? and also it seems i can never empty myself out normal?

This is not normal and should be investigated by your doc. You didn't mention how old you are but if you are an older male it could be a sign of benign prostatic hypertrophy which means a slightly enlarged prostate. See the doc and get this checked out.

i'm 15 so i dont know why i would already have prostate problems but if its not normal to take a few seconds before I start to pee, i guess i'll goto the doctors, but i really dont want to because i've already been a few times lately

I would not worry about a couple of seconds. If you have trouble getting a urine stream in after maybe 8-10 seconds then you could very well have a problem.

Checking it out with a doctor will give you the comfort level you need.
