It didn't stop me from growing. I was lifting 30-50kgs when I was 13!

It is very possible.

I would suggest not lifting to your max, but lift about 3/4 of it for a longer period.

Lifting weights does not stunt growth. However, because you're still growing don't lift too much. Do enough for exercise; don't overdo it.
