What happened when you completely tore your ACL?

I am 16 and I tore my ACL and meniscus playing soccer and when it happened I could hear a very loud noise, just as if something was ripping. I was able to jog on it a little bit but I could tell that it didnt feel normal. Often times when I was walking around my knee would randomly give out on me and I would stumble a little bit. I would say if you are doing box hops that is a pretty good sign because I didnt even do that until about 4 months after surgery. You may have a partial tear which is nothing to be worried about if you are not playing agressive sports. And many times MRI's can be misread by doctors. For example my mom tore her ACL in a sking accident about 6 years ago and the doctors thought it was nothing. Later on she found out that she actually did tear her ACL but she decided not to have surgery. If you dont play sports it is not necessary to have the surgery especially if you arent feeling too much pain because that will get better with time. If you are feeling pain in your IT band I suggest getting a foam roller and lay on your side and roll out your IT band. It helps a lot! Goodluck!
