No. Your height is determined by your genetics and your diet. If you do certain exercises such as squats with relatively heavy weights, you will compress the vertebrae in your spine and, temporarily, could lose ¼ to ½ inch of height. However, when your body recovers from training, especially if you do some hanging stretches at the end of a squat workout, your height will return to normal. On the other hand, if you are under 16, be certain to consult with your personal physician before making any major changes to your dietary or exercise habits.

Does exercise stop you from growing?
Exercise does not stop you growing. Running,cycling, swimming etc are all healthy examples of exercise and don't stunt your growth. Lifting excessively heavy weights at a young age (12-14ish) however, can stunt your growth and effect the development of your arm muscles and bones. If you plan on lifting weights at an early age you should ask your trainer/coach for advice and stick with smaller weights. To be honest, I would just recommend push-ups, pull-ups etc.
How can I stop growing?
When you grow up you will stop growing.
