i am 14 and a half, and im in football, which i am required to lift weights, i am 5'2 and 105 lb. and currently in the process of early puberty. even though im very healthy and have been playing sports since elementary school. my dad is about 5'7 5'8 ish, and my mom is 5'0 5'1 ish. im taller than my mom. Will lifting weight stunt my growth? let me know asap!!

I have never heard of lifting weights stunting growth. I think it might have the opposite effect of increasing your bone density and muscle mass.
Who told you that?

You should never stop exercising as that is part of a healthy lifestyle. Human growth hormones don't slow down until around the age of 21 and it seems sometimes height is the last to develop. Also, height is determined by genes, so you may be a shorter male or taller.
Hope this helps
