You didn't say if you were into sports or not. Knee pain that comes and goes with that cracking or grating sound can mean a torn meniscus. That is something that may have to be surgically repaired. Go see a doctor for referal to an orthopedic or sports medicine doctor.

Sounds like you may have patellofemoral syndrome. I would recommend that you have your parents take you to see an orthopedic doctor to have them assess your knee and then go to physical therapy.

Better see a doctor. The worst could be orthoscopic surgery if your not too old.
