Properly done squats?

Hey, all,

Kind of embarrassing, but I hope I'm not alone in this boat... it's just that I have problems whenever I try to do squats!

I always exercise alone, so I never have anyone to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Long story short: when I try to do squats and start going downward, my knees start KILLING me! They feel like they're being stretched with the whole weight of my body, and NOT in a way that feels healthy or good or productive!

What should my squat stance look like? How low down should I go? Does my back stay straight up and down, or lean forward? Basically, help!

Thanks in advance
