Yes it can if you lift weight without the guidance of an expert.
You're 15 and youre focused on working out? Yeah it'll really come in handy for all those fights you get into in highschool. I'm sorry but kids are so stupid sometimes...
shud not lift weights or push ups.. not a myth.
"Yes It can affect your height cause your lifting weights. Try to regulate your work out schedule at the gym. Let's say once a week or try light exercise. For a 15 yrs old your still growing. You should grow tall first before body building. Maybe you can start body building at the age of 16 above just don't take it too hard and when you feel that your tall enough."
youre too young to lift weights, wait until you turned 18.
