There are all sorts of reasons why a knee might hurt, and most people experience knee pain at some point in their life (maybe thats why your parents don't want to take you to the doc- because this is so common). The most common causes of knee pain are damage to cartilage or tightness in one or more ligaments. Osteomas (bone spurs) may also cause knees to hurt but there's no good reason to suspect an osteoma unless you can feel bone sticking out in a place where there shouldn't be a bony protrusion.
Its also unlikely that the pain is caused by osteosarcoma (bone cancer), since non-cancerous causes for pain are so universal, but there's not way to know for sure unless you are examined by a doctor. If the knee is swollen and hurting for no apparent reason, or if bump or lump appears, then you need to see a doctor.
Maybe you could show your parents the article at this link, or talk to a school nurse:
