Lifting weights won't stunt your growth, you should be fine, just don't over do it....

No you won't stunt yourself if you do the exercise with proper form. In fact, it is a common misconception that lifting will stunt your growth. I started lifting when I was 14 and now that I'm 16 I have grown 5 inches since. Most important thing is always keep proper form. If you don't have proper form the weight is too heavy. Also, let me know what exercise you're trying to do.

They tested weight lifting with people 75 and up. they found they got more bone density and better balance. Your going to need bone density to keep growing so lift weights and you might grow a little taller. Just use good form and don't over use your muscles.
