Does drinking coffee and lifting weights affect 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. Caffeine mimics hormones that are released from the adrenal gland. If caffeine mimicked somatotropin, a hormone which is responsible for growth, that would be different. But it doesn't. 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.

Lifting weights and doing cardio will never stop your growth it will actually help it. The hormone (GH) or Growth Hormone is produced from lifting weights because you are triggering the pituitary gland to produce the hormone from the exercise. Same goes with cardio. working out in the gym or running will not stunt your growth.
