Why does my knee bother me sometimes after and while running?

Question

It' summer time so i decided I'd start running. After two days of good runs (about two miles each), my knee started bothering me right when i started running. I'm only 15 and about 5'8 140lbs. Do i need to stretch or something? It has always bothered me in the past while running too. What do i need do to do so my knee will stop adjitating me while running. I have a basic pair of running shoes by the way.

It could be osgood slaughters disease. Its not really a disease but it usually hurts right below your knew and above your shin.  It happens because you stress your legs to soon.  It usually hits around the teens.  For that you just need to ice it, rest a so often, and try getting a knee band.  I had the exact same pains and the band has helped. It also could be runners knee.....but i don't know to much about that.
