No, I've never heard of such a thing

I know many people who were in weight training (myself included) and this is the first I'd ever heard of it causing stunted growth.

Yeah, I;ve heard of it, stunting your growth, though not proven I think its true because I was growing inch by inch every year until one year I got into lifting. And yes now I'm not freaking growing anymore! I'm 16, so I'm not sure but if you're really short dont take the risk.
