No, not without checking with a doctor. During times of rapid growth bones become porous and the pressures of resistance training could cause minuet stress fractures or deforming of the bone. Yes, stunting your growth as well as leading to hampering your agility in the future. After checking with the doctor always seek the advice of a certified trainer, who understands the requirements of younger athletes.

go for it ^_^ by the time you reach 16 you'll look buff and tough ^_^ 14 is a good age to start work out cuz it will help you grow taller and you'll get that great body so why not start now ^_^
