IT band friction: Have a trainer assess you for IT band syndrome. A good trainer can "strip" your IT band and show you how to foam roll to prevent it. It causes your kneecap to go "off track". It is a frequent issue with young athletes and if untreated can cause other issues.

When I bend my knee makes a clicking sound. When I press on the rights side of my right knee it feel bruised and it hurts extremely. Could it be my meniscus? I have been partaking in strenious activities involving jump squats.
