ok, here's the deal:
- weight training promotes bone growth
- 12-14 is the ideal age to start weight training
- doctors actually recommend light weight-training for pre-teens
- your hormone levels are higher now than they ever will be so you should train intensely because you can grow and recover from the workout more now than you will be able to in the future.
- the one warning that doctors have for pre-teen and early teens is to avoid doing one-rep maxes on a regular basis. Injury (stress fractures, breaks...) can occur to the bone's growth plate, resulting in stunted growth of that bone.
Make sure that you are using proper form!!!! Do not sacrifice form for weight - injuries can result and it just isn't worth the price.

For you being young be especially careful i know a lad who's growth was stunted due to weight training he is now a grown 23 year old with a huge build and is about 5 foot 5 he looks ridiculous. Get advice from a trainer about this, if you wish to have an active sex life when you grow up

If by "grow" you mean taller no one can answer that but your very own genetic make-up which begins to be mapped out long before you even enter this world...but assuming it was just a simple yes or no answer...then yes. Men can continue growing in height as late as their early 30's. However the majority of men stop growing height wise in their late teens early 20's. Hope this helps.

This depends and can not be said for sure either way. People do grow in different ways, and their lifestyle, diet and circumstances have influence on it. Make sure you eat only healthy food, do not take steroids or other enhancers, and have a balanced training regime.
You might also want to consult your doctor for a general check-up.

You'll grow
Maybe your 14 yr old brother should go easy on the heavy weights
Avoid squats till he is 17
Schwarzenegger started building when he was 14 though!
And he is 6'2"!
Does this anwer your question?
Genetics is what counts most for your final height!

Only a starvation diet will stop growth.
Some people are finished growing at 17.
It sound like you are on a good regimen.
Eat healthy.

wt training doesn't stunt your growth, use of steroids can, and can damage you physiologically so that you have major health problems later in life.
how tall you become, how muscular become depends in large part on your genetic structure.
Stay healthy, stay away from artificial means like steriods, to increase your bulk, and you will grow as you should.

You will definitely grow in the Ego department,
but it is questionable how much in intelligence,
sensitivity or empathy, as most of your waking,
and sleeping, moments will be about You.
