12 is the number of reps you do, 3 is the number of sets you do.
Weightlifting doesn't stunt your growth at all.
It causes your body to release extra testosterone and human growth hormone - which will only make you grow more.

No, but one should not attempt to begin weight lifting until at least the age of 14.

No, just use common sense and don't over do it. You can cause damage to new growth bones and your back if you over do it.
