Does exercise stop you from growing?
Exercise does not stop you growing. Running,cycling, swimming etc are all healthy examples of exercise and don't stunt your growth. Lifting excessively heavy weights at a young age (12-14ish) however, can stunt your growth and effect the development of your arm muscles and bones. If you plan on lifting weights at an early age you should ask your trainer/coach for advice and stick with smaller weights. To be honest, I would just recommend push-ups, pull-ups etc.
If I stunted my growth in anyway can I gain it back later on and why?
The only way to "stunt your growth" would be if you weren't getting enough food when you were very young. If you had good nutrition up until about age 12, you'll reach your full height. If your growth was stunted by being mal-fed in early childhood, there's no way for you as an adult to catch up.

How tall should a 12 year old girl be if she is 103 lbs?
The 12 year old girl should be as tall as she is. That has a lot of variables. Genetics, childhood illnesses can stunt growth, since not all girls mature at the same age, it's hard to tell what height she is suppose to be, how about loving your daughter more for who she is and not what she looks like.
How bad is it to starve yourself at 12?
Starving is always bad because it deprives the body of essential vitamins and nutrients that it needs to survive. At a young age, malnutrition can lead to a perment stunt in growth, brittle bones later in life, and an inability for the brain and organs to fully develop properly.

Does drinking protein shakes at age 12 stunt growth?
I don't believe that protein shakes will stunt your growth. There are different types of protein shakes such as whey, casein, soy, and recently there is some buzz about hemp protein. Active people who are still growing should get most if not all of their nutrients from wholesome foods and not from supplements. For protein you should be having beef, chicken, and fish among other kinds of protein including healthy carbs and fats. It's usually only when you are competing at an elite level when you need supplements that can give you that extra edge.
