I'm not sure, but I do have a lot of friends that have bad knees. They have seen specialists, so I would too. You may have dislocated it. Or you may have so many times that your body does it naturally. Perhaps try ice...but go to a doctor. They can probably give you better diagnosis than someone online.

Strains are injuries that affect muscles or tendons, thick bands that attach muscles to bones. They occur in response to a quick tear, twist, or pull of the muscle. Strains are an acute type of injury that results from overstretching or over contraction. Pain, weakness, and muscle spasms are common symptoms experienced after a strain occurs.
Sprains are injuries that affect ligaments, thick bands of cartilage that attach bone to bone. They occur in response to a stretch or tear of a ligament. Sprains are an acute type of injury that results from trauma such as a fall or outside force that displaces the surrounding joint from its normal alignment. Sprains can range from a mild ligamentous stretch to a complete tear. Bruising, swelling, instability, and painful movement are common symptoms experienced after a sprain occurs.
RICE is the acronym used for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. It is used as the best initial treatment of soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and contusions. The combination of RICE helps reduce inflammation that occurs after acute injury. It is important to remember that the earlier this treatment is put into place, the more effective it is.
Rest: Rest and protect the injured area. If it hurts to bear weight on the injury, use crutches, or a cane.
Ice: Apply ice to the injury. The cold will reduce swelling and pain at the injured site. This step should be done as soon as possible. Apply the frozen object to the area for 20 minutes three times a day for the first 48 hours.
Compression: Compress the injured site. This will decreases swelling of the injured region. Although the wrap should be snug, make sure it is not too tight as this can cause numbness, tingling, or increased pain.
Elevation: Elevate the injured area above the level of the heart as much as possible. This technique will also assist in reducing the amount of swelling to the injured site.
Once the pain and swelling are eliminated, you should start gradual range of motion exercises but not to the point of pain. Each day your range of motion will increase slightly. Continue until you have complete range of motion. Than start gentle strengthening exercises to re-build the strength in the knee.
The stiffness will go away over time.
Good Luck

It could be any number of things, including Osgood Schlatter's - aka Growing Pains - the only way to really know what is wrong is to see your doctor - preferably an orthopedic specialist. I have had 6 knee surgeries total, and you really do not want to mess around with that part of your body and live a full, active life.

I think Amanda's answer was right on target. I believe watching porn at your age can give you a warped sense of how sex should be between two people. It should be something beautiful between two people who care for each other and not reduced to just the physical part. Masturbation is fine and feeling horney at your age is normal but you will want than a porno reenactment as your model for future sexual realtionships.

Tear to the meniscus right behind your knee cap. See if you can schedule an appointment with an orthopedist.

Sounds like it's been wrenched out of joint. Have you fallen down on it recently? Have your folks take you to the ER or a doctor as soon as possible.

Maybe you should see a doctor. Eat a pain reliever and that should help for quiet a while.

u could have tendonitis...my sister had it a long time ago. Try taking some tylenol or a pain reliever. That always helped her.
