If im 13 does using free wieghts stunt my growth??

Question

this is wat my pe teacher said

Answer 1

YES it does

Answer 2

They're correct. If you haven't reached your full vertical height then the bulking of your muscles resists that growth, hence their comment.

Answer 3

not necessarily do it in moderation im 15 and it doesn't stunt your growth m8 just take it easy (not too strenuous)

and miss a day before doing it again

Answer 4

Yes it will. Your body has some growth palates in your legs. Growth spurts  for males will be 12-18 years old. And some stop growing at 21. Just wait to lift weights after 18 or 21 to be on the safe side. Meanwhile, just do push-ups,  pull-ups, and sit-ups. Drink lots of milk or orange juice with calcium.
