Since you do not want to damage the growth plates on the ends of your arm bones and leg bones, you would be better off lifting every other day with weights that you can do for 20 to 50 repetitions before exhaustion. It is important not to max out your weight, but for bulking up, you do want to lift to exhaustion, that is, the point at which you strain with all your strength but cannot lift the weight any longer. BE SURE to warm up for 15 minutes with light weights and 30-second stretches before you start with serious weights!!!

Keep the muscle moving or rub it to avoid lactic acid buildup (shich causes sore muscles), then do another repetition to exhaustion. Finish with a third rep to exhaustion, or until you muscles feels "pumped up". Warm down with much lighter weights long enough to move the lactic acid out of the muscles, say, 10 to 15 minutes or longer.

An hour per muscle group is plenty at age 15.

If you are asking "What is the maximum time a single weight training session should last?" the answer is "about 45 minutes." Individual differs. Some people can train longer without wasting time and still be productive. If you are asking "How long in life should you lift weights?" the answer is "as long as possible."

Will muscles shrink if you stop increasing weights when weightlifting As in still lifting but keeping the same weight?

I don't think your muscles actually shrink and keeping it at the same weight will continue to increase your strength but after a long time it will have only a little effect, I recommend only changing them when you are finding it stupidly easy to lift the weights.
