does lifting light weights stunt your growth?

Not generally.
Lifting weights is actually the tearing down of muscles but when you rest them, they rebuild - so nutrition is key so that you have protein and other key vitamins to rebuild with.

What do you consider "light weights"? For the sake of this discussion I will assume you are referring to weights of no more than 10 lbs., in which case, lifting them will not stunt one's growth. Just as a side note on the subject...an important consideration about lifting weights should be the age of the person lifting. Children under the age of 8 should not lift weights over 15 pounds. It can indeed have a harmful impact on their development.
