Answer 1

Gym will not affect your height. Nothing will make you grow more, but make sure you eat a good balanced diet.

Gym can only develop muscles and help you to lose weight.

Answer 2

"m not goin to develop my muscles!"

What do you mean by this? You will begin to develop muscles in puberty. I'm not sure about the working out = hurt height development, but it's not unhealthy. You want to be fit. (don't over-do it)

Personally I think the "working out = hurt height development" is bull. At this age most everyone tries working out now, and I don't see any difference from people who don't.

Answer 3

If it's about height I would recommend basket ball, volleyball or swimming. Anything that makes you stretch your body.
