Does weightlifting and other bodybuilding exercises stop growing ?

Im 17 years old and I wanna start bodybuilding because I feel skinny , but some people say that it will stop my growing. What do you think ?

1. There are reports that conclude it can stunt your growth. Personally, I think they may be exagerated. I was either 15 or 16 when I started lifting and probably 5'6". My estimated height (based on doubling my height at age 3) was 5'9". I'm 5'10" now. If you want to lift, go ahead and do it. If you were 8, I'd advise against it.
2. no.
