Physical activity won't stunt your growth. In fact, it's good to produce bone mass.

The exercises you do now sound great. If you want to add some exercises that will be great for you and are guaranteed not to harm your growth, add yoga to your routine. I loved doing yoga when I was a teen because it helped with all the stress that every teenager goes through.

I am 16 and I work out a lot, my parents thought the same thing, but i am 5'8 and when i started working out i was only 5'4, so i dont think its true that it stunts growth, excercise is so good for the body and if you want to do it, you always should Very Happy

p.s. i do push ups, pull ups, sit ups, i run in place and i use 5 to 10 pound weights for lifting. I have developed lots of muscle since i have used weights.
