I've been working out since June 2005. I'm 14 years old (15 in August), and in the year and three quarters since then, i have only grown between two and three inches...i am really worried b/c im only about 5'9" and b/c i play basketball, i kinda need to be a bit taller.

No, lifting weights will not stunt growth. This is a myth propogated by people who only know what they've heard. Many professional bodybuilders and powerlifters started at a very young age and they are plenty tall enough.
Your height is determined primarily by genetics and there's little you can do about it unfortunately.

no, it doesn't...there never has been any medical evidence that shows otherwise.
