I'm in high school and we have weight training these days. We are lifting very heavy weights, and I wonder if that'll stunt my height growth, please, someone please give me an answer...

There is no scientific proof that I have found that says lifting can stunt your growth. I have heard that lifting as a child(before puberty) can have that affect, but that may just be a rumor.
