Why can I see through my model?

This might seem like a stupid question, but seriously I don't know why it is showing the lines and edges I should usually not be able to see. I am not in wireframe, or any of that, I am in shaded with edges mode. I just want my model to look normal, with only black lines for edges while that part of the model is facing me. I'm not sure how to express my situation farther so here is an image. I would really appreciate it if somebody could take the time to let me know what my problem is... Thank you!!
