Experts disagree. By 16 the ends of your bones should be sufficiently formed. Then, lifting weights, when using correct form, should be beneficial. It is risky to do it any earlier unless one has expert coaching and supervision.

Most gyms won't let you do it until you're a teenager, but you can be younger than that. It doesn't stunt your growth. You do need to be more careful though since kids are more careless, and make sure you're doing exercises correctly.

Most public gyms and sports centers won't let ages under 15-16 use weights and dumbbells due to risk of injury.

About 13, but do more reps on lighter weights rather than a few reps on a heavy weight. Make sure you rest to give your body time to put on muscle and refuel.
