Does lifting weights for half an hour a day stunt growth in height?

No. It's an urban legend that weight lifting stunts ones' growth. Dumbells wil certainly not do anything to affect your growth. If you ever attempt heavy squats (not dumbells), it's important to have proper supervision: poor form could result in an injury to your back, which might ostensibly stunt your growth. Barring an injury, however, you can do whatever lifting you like and not hurt your growth.
