I'm just saying if all you're going is parallel to the ground you're doing them wrong. Your hips should end up below your knees.

A good rule of thumb is to squat slightly below parallel which would be your hips at or below your knees. This not only targets your gluteal muscles more efficiently but also prevents the shearing force on your knees that is caused by half or quarter squats.

Good advice
I'd recommend Joe Franco's agile 8
Or kelly starret's book, to become a supple leopard

It is sort of on the bottom half outside part of the kneecap. No sand feeling. Just feels like someone hit me in the kneecap with a pipe

Patella Tendonatis.
You will need cortisone.

You have shin splints.

Your kneecap is your biggest knuckle.

Stretch out the legs......likely that tendon that connects to the top of the kneecap

Sounds like you may have a tight IT Band that's pulling on your tendon.
If it's really bad and hurts to walk or run, stop the leg work for now, take NSAIDs, and schedule a massage with a good therapist. Have them focus on loosening your legs and glutes. Rest a day or so after and then start elliptical/stationary bike and stretching. If it still gives you trouble, foam roll the glutes and IT Band every couple days. Continue to elliptical and stretch and take NSAIDs. I would think that will take care of it. Shouldn't take much more than two to three weeks to work it out. If it doesn't get better, go see a specialist who can determine if you partially tore something.
