There is no way for anyone to predict your height. You can guess at it by knowing how tall your parents and grand parents are/were. This will give you an idea of how tall you may get.
Lifting heavy weights can cause the epiphyseal plates to close prematurely. The bones are pushed together by the weight and close the room the bones should have to elongate and grow. So, in a word, yes, lifting heavy weights can stunt your growth. It is not recommended that teens lift heavy weights for this reason.

No one person can tell you how tall you will grow. I think males grow until they're about 25 years old so yes, you cuold get taller but it doesn't mean you will. An easly way to *try* and predict this is to look at the people in your family. Are they tall? if so mayube you will get taller. If hey are short, you may just stay 5'5"

Yep
At school according to my P.E teaching lifting weights at teenage years can be quite bad for the developement in your bones because your body is not full developed yet. he said best thing is lifting your own weight which is what i do Smile
