I don't think any minor weight training will affect your height...

however i recommend waiting until your 15-16 to start weight training and even then you should go very slowly and ask the advice of a personal trainer.

No. It's a common myth that's been perpetuated for some time that weight lifting stunts growth. 12 year olds should certainly be supervised when lifting and instructed on proper form, but weight lifting done in good form should not stunt growth.
