The following is a medical orthopedic web site that discusses your diagnosis.  You should discuss this with your Parents and your doctor as well.   http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00079  if it dosen't take your directly to osteochondroma type it into the search box at that site.

Hey,
I had the same thing two years ago. Its was above my left knee. Actually, its funny, I was 14 too. Anyway, its been two years since I had it removed and i'm fine. You will be too. its NOT cancer. its a benign cartilage and bone tumor. benign meaning noncancerous.
