No weight lifting does not affect our growth hormone or neither our bone not to grow because when you do some weights it strengthens your your whole body
and especially in mind it makes us mature in our life and some people say that our bones can lift 2000 pounds without getting our bones break

As a former licensed athletic trainer in the state of Texas, I want to caution young boys and girls from lifting weights as a form of strengthening. While it is true that you can increase your strength and muscle mass by lifting weights, the potential damage to your growth plate - (the area at the ends of your bones where they are still growing) is significant. If you choose to lift weights, please use a small amount of weight and do more repetitions.
Only lift weights if you can already do push ups, pull ups and other calisthenics well. If you do not have enough strength to do these exercises first, then you are likely to have an increased chance of fracturing or damaging your growth plate. Once your growth plate has been damaged, it can stop growing....hence the rumor that lifting weights can stunt your growth. Please learn the science of lifting weights and how it affects muscles before you begin. It's worth it in the long run. Hope this helps!

I am 12, 5'4 and I have been lifting for almost a year and I've only gotten stronger and bigger. No bad effects at all. I used to weigh 95 lbs but now I weigh 120 lbs. My older brother used to tell me that I would ruin my muscles, but as far as I have researched its BULL.
