You'll grow as tall as your genes will allow. Weightlifting won't help. Don't feel too bad, a lot of guys are short and don't have any problems. Go for short girls!

What kind of genes are in your family? If the male members tend to be short; then you probably will be the same. Even if most male members are average in height or taller, you could still have a genetic makeup that makes you short. Depending on your age, you could look into human growth hormones. Ask your doctor what is realistic and available to you.

Height is a hormone thing, controlled by the pituitary gland...lifting weights does not effect it at all. Sorry

there is no scientific data that supports the claim that resistance training stunts growth. that's nothing more than the standard rhetoric spouted by those with no real knowledge of human biology
