Knee problems for nearly 5 years? What could be the problem?

So ever since 3rd Grade (I'm now in 8th, I'm 14) I have been having problems with my left knee. I also am a heavy soccer player and have been playing for a while. After dealing with knee pain for a while, my mom took my to an Orthopedic Doctor in 3rd Grade, and he diagnosed me with Tendinitis. However, ever since then, I feel that my knee has been getting worse. A lot of time, my knee kind of locks and aches and I have to like pop it by stretching out in front of me. And a lot of times when I move it it feels weird. And also, my knee aches sometimes especially after a lot of walking. And if I push on the area below the knee cap it hurts. What could be the problem here? Could I have done something to it or is this just tendinitis? And by the way my dad has arthritis in his knees. And I haven't had my knee checked since 3rd grade.
And I can't just be like "Mom I need to go to the doctor." Because thats just not my personality, and I never complain.
