Not if you are lifting light weight, using good posture and doing lots of reps...Don't try and lift to see what you max is. Just take it easy, you'll get strong and hell and look great.

Most thirteen year old boys still have open growth plates (epiphyses) at the ends of the long bones. These are the weakest points of the bones. Theoretically, it is possible to pull the growth plate apart and impair future growth. Although this is not common, good sense dictates that you lift only moderate weights and take care that your repetitions do not induce fatigue.

I remember watching a programme a while ago where there was a young child like you on it. I believe it can stunt your growth if you're not careful. I think you can only lift so much so many times a day.
Best to check with your local gym - they may be able to help you!

For 5 minutes a day, as long as you're not pushing yourself to your total limit, it can't do any damage. Just don't push yourself inappropriately or work out for mor than say, 15 minutes at a time until your're about 16-17

I have heard that weight training during adolescence can stunt growth. 5 minutes sounds ok though. Check with a professional at the gym or better still your doctor.

Heavy weight lifting I believe can stunt your growth. I would recommend just doing body weight exercise. Like push ups, pull ups and dips. Your body can't damage itself but you can make it stronger with these basic exercise.
