Strength training IS very beneficial for teens and has almost no risk when well supervised.
Strength training will NOT stunt a teens growth. According to the AAP, A well supervised strength training and fitness program has been shown to be very beneficial to teens in terms of bone strength, bodyfat reduction, cardiovascular fitness, cholesterol levels and mental health.
There are three things that will stunt your growth: steroids, some supplements, and poor nutrition.
People keep asking what supplements I recommend for teens. None!!!! I am firmly anti-supplement - *especially* for teens. I dont care if its creatine or Acai berries, my opinion is that if you have good nutrition you dont need any supplements. Its always best to get nutrients from their natural source rather than extruded from some machine in a factory. If you want creatine, eat meat! If you want Acai berrries, then eat the berries rather than taking some "berry-pill". If you are concerned about maximizing your strength and mass gains then learn how to eat healthy, dont pop pills!

I was reading a comment that sayed all the bodybuilders at someones school were short. I believe that is just bad luck. I have been bodybuilding for about a year now, and have grown 4 inches since I started.
Hey guys. I was wondering, I'm 19 now and do light workouts atm but when I was younger I did a lot of heavy weight and did take pro-hormones. I seem to have stopped growing about 5 10", which I'm not too worried about my mum is much shorter anyway. But my shoulder width is quite small, does this usually change with age? I ask because a lot of my friends have small shoulders but then you look at some guys my age and they look more developed, more like an adult.
Well no offense m8 but you're quite short so you shoudldn't expect to have big shoulders only from growing... A male stops growing around the age of 20, and you probably wont grow much more so you should do shoulder exercies with slow reps with 3-4 series (10-10-8-8) and you should have 5-6 hot meals per day, for your height i would say 2500 calories or so would be more then enough (~500 per meal) and try to get up mass. If u will put on weight also your shoulders will eventually look and be big
