I have something called patella tracking syndrome and it hurts to go up and down stairs, but there is stairs at my school so what should i do?

Physical therapy.: Patellar maltracking, or patellofemoral tracking disorder, is a very common issue, and you've described the symptoms of such perfectly. Physical therapy may help to train your patella to track better.
