NO.
You might look smaller hence shorter. If you go on a diet that's too shocking to your body you might or might not undermine your growth.

You may stunt your growth, but you aren't going to shrink! If you want to lose weight, you are better off cutting back on fatty foods and eating more nutritious meals. As a teen, healthy eating is very important. You will most likely experience large growth spurts in your teen years. Dieting can cause serious health and growth problems. Add exercise to your daily routine and change your eating habits.

Weight has nothing to do with height. Your height is predetermined by genetics, meaning a diet to lose weight will not effect your height. You will not get shorter if you lose weight, just as you will not get taller if you gain weight.

You need to check with your doctor before you go on a diet. You are to young to do that on your own. No will will not get shorter, sorry.

lol, that's a funny question, but not as long as you're getting all the nutrients. in fact, the person might grow a little because the gravity won't have as much weight to pull down:)
