Lifting weights may put pressure on your spine and stunt your growth slightly.

Only if you know EXACTLY what you are doing. You could seriously screw up your joints if you lift too much because your bones are shifting due to puberty.

At your age, you should keep the weights light – to moderate and do more repetitions to work the muscle.
Small reps/hi weight is not good for youngsters.
Great Q. Hang in there.

If you want to be a midget.
It might stunt your growth. It looks like you have yet to hit your growth spurt yet.
keep it light for now and stick to dumbbells pullups and pushup…nothing heavy.
