I am 14 years old, I weigh about 100 pounds, and I'm a very stocky kid. I'm pretty much all muscle because I do pushups and situps a lot. I don't use weights and don't do any of that stuff. The only thing I use to work out is my body. I heard that benching and lifting weights can stunt you growth.
So my question is: do push-ups and sit-ups have the potential to stunt a kid's growth less than lifting weights?
I feel perfectly fine and I eat properly, I don't starve myself ever or anything like that. I am a boy and I wrestle on my school team during the winter, so I like to stay fit year-round. This is why I am muscular.
Thanks for the answers. Please, serious answers only.

There has never been a double blind scientific study of this issue. I think that if you feel that it might be having that effect on you, you should refrain from doing so. The best way to stop masturbating is to put an elastic band on your wrist and snap it when you want to masturbate. It takes about a week.

Lifting weights does not stunt your growth. Either will doing pus-ups, etc.

Push-ups and sit-ups will not hurt you,what will hurt you is drugs,drinking and smoking.
