No, Weightlifting does not stunt your growth. However, you should not start too early because you may injure yourself in other ways. It is best to wait until you have grown to your full capacity before you start some serious weight lifting. When you do start, you should start off with simple routines such as push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and jumping squats.

No it doesn't, it's just a myth from an small part of Japan. Science proves that it doesnt actually stunt your growth and may even enhance your growth.
