Question:
Does weight lifting affect how tall your going to be?
does lifting weights affect your growth?
Answers:
No and yes.
If you are to young and lift to much you can damage the growth plates at the ends of your bones. Damaged plates means no growth or deformed growth
If you are above about 14-15, check with your doctor, weightlifting will not hurt.
As you get much older, after 45-50 years of age, weightlifting can help prevent you getting shorter.
