Barring an injury, however, you can do whatever lifting you like and not hurt your growth.

Drinking Coffee: No. Urban legend, my friend. Caffeine may not be the best thing to be pumping into your body, but it does NOT effect your growth.

So no worries. Lifting weights: Err, indirectly, weight lifting can affect your growth, but ONLY in a good way!

It helps prevent osteoporosis later in life; especially in women.
