I am 16 and 5,10. hopping to grow some more till 5 11 or even 6 feet tall. I would like to start working out my legs, and was wondering if it would be safe for me. Since most leg exercise are pulling u down.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
if you squat with heavy heavy weight for prolonged periods, your spine will compress to bear the load of the weight, if your plates are still open you will prematurely cause a fusing of your spine reducing the chance of growth in your torso.
legg press is a good alternative to squats while you are still growing but not perfect.

Don't worry, squats won't stunt your growth. But if will make you feel better, just go ahead and hang upside down from a bar after your squat workout.
****, if anything, squats will probably make you taller, being that when you workout hard like that you are circulating a lot more growth hormone.
I lifted weights all throughout my teen years, and I ended up 6-2 at nineteen.

Differing Oppinions
This is definatelly a touchy subject and there are many different views and oppinions when it comes to stunting your growth but what i've grown to believe is: no it does not stunt your growth.
All the tests that have been conducted leave no evidence that lifting stunts your growth, but then again, finding evidence of such a thing is a very difficult process.
There has been studies which attempt to say that lifting (especially compound movements) have the tendancy to prematurely fuse your bone plates, which ultimately leaves you smaller then if you never lifted.
Personal trainers told me this, but still i believe it doesn't stunt your growth b/c of the lack of evidence to support their claims.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Lifting absolutely does not stunt your growth. There are an abundance of scientific studies out there that support this statement.
