Resistance training will stunt growth, as it will cause your bones to focus their growth on diameter for extra strength, taking away resources to grow lengthways.

I can't see why regular cardio workouts would have a significant effect on height though.

There's nothing to prove that either way.

I heard the same thing.

Then I heard it was a myth. I think the latter is true; if you're really afraid of stunting your growth, just don't WORK OUT TO THE MAX ARGGHHH. Do a lighter routine until you hit your 20's.

Also, this might be moot, but I am pretty sure you're VERY close to the tallest you'll ever be, if you're not already there.
