This would depend on how young you are. I've been weight training since i was about 13 and havn't encountered any serious problems. As long as you have perfect form and don't lift heavy weights. I would recommend using a moderate amount of weight that you can do for about 12-14 reps if you are young and first starting out

No it does not. That is a myth. Correctly performed weight training will not stunt your growth. However, that does not mean that it is advisable before the age of about 16. In addition, young people should be supervised to minimize the risk of injury.
