Will doing weights at age 12 affect height?
I don't think any minor weight training will affect your height... however i recommend waiting until your 15-16 to start weight training and even then you should go very slowly and ask the advice of a personal trainer. No. It's a common myth that's been perpetuated for some time that weight lifting stunts growth. 12 year olds should certainly be supervised when lifting and instructed on proper form, but weight lifting done in good form should not stunt growth.

Lifting weights and doing cardio will never stop your growth it will actually help it.

Same goes with cardio. working out in the gym or running will not stunt your growth.

How much exercise does a 14 year old need per week?
Depending on the health of the teen, this will vary. Yet, if you are dealing with a teen who is at a healthy weight, it is not really necessary to do heavy-duty workouts (weight-lifting, etc.) this is because weight lifting can stunt the growth of teens. Focus on getting 60 minutes of physical activity daily (ex. bike riding, rollerblading, running, etc.) If you are looking to lose weight limit carbs and get plenty of exercise.

So there is no chance it will stunt your growth. If you are 14 years old, you should consult with a doctor to make sure.
