We found this video that talks about weight lifting is not bad for teenagers. It has all the facts with all the scientific research backing it up.
The guy talking has a stupid hat on and no shirt on so he looks like a "git" but the video has some interesting points on it.

Can lifting weights stunt a teenagers height?
DaDudes received this Guy Question about lifting weights:
I am 15 years old boy and people call me chubby. I always wanted to lose weight and look muscly, but now there is a girl at school who told me she won't go out with a fatty so now I really, really wanna fit. I started weight lifting but I have heard something at school, that weight lifting stunts teen’s growth. Is this true? Or can I carry on lifting weights.
The Guy Answer:
Some people believe there are certain exercises that stunt your growth, which include bench presses, shoulder presses, leg presses and other exercises that oppose the bones in your body. DaDudes have heard lots of people say lifting weights stunt growth of teenagers but we haven't seen any proof of this. We've seen kids at school lifting weights since they were 13 and they are all growing just fine. Our P.E. teacher says we shouldn't lift weights competitively until we are older and we should use relatively lightweights and do 2-3 sets of no more than 15 repetitions during one exercise. He said, we should also try to limit our workouts to three, half-hour sessions per week.
We read from the internet that: it is important to learn the basics of weight training from a qualified instructor and get medical clearance from your doctor before you begin weight lifting. Learning the proper technique will help you avoid future injuries associated with weight training and some bad effects of weight lifting that usually affect teens. Your instructor can also give you pointers for getting the most out of your workout, which might also help.
We also found that after lots of research on the net, we could not find any scientific evidence to prove that weight training at a young age can stunt your growth. Mariusz Pudzianowski, who is the Worlds Strongest Man x5, started weight training when he was 13, and reached a height of 6 ft 1.
Sooooo DaDudes would say that you can lift weights but don't go overboard. Just lift light weights and do 2-3 sets of 15 reps. Make sure you are shown the correct technique by someone who knows what they are doing.
Also, if you are fat, you should make sure you eat healthy and go running 'cos weights are not going to get rid of fat.

Even Lazy Dudes Can Get Six Pack Abs
The guy question is "How can I get six pack abs the easy way"
If you are anything like us, you'll be too lazy or too poor for the gym and you'd rather stay at home on the playstation anyway....but you still dream of having six pack abs that make your mates jealous and get the girls looking.
You can still dream...here is another guy answer from DaDudes:
There is one exercise that can be done without leaving the television set.
• Crunches
Almost all people know how to do this. This exercise targets the upper abdomen. It’s one of the basic but effective exercises. To perform crunches, you need to lie on a flat surface with your hands in your chest or behind you head. Contract your abs, then hold for 2 seconds, then return to your lying position. Proper crunches are in a continuous and controlled fashion. Concentrate on your abdominal muscles to pull your upper body up. Avoid using the neck or shoulders to push yourself up. This incorrect practice will cause stress and strains.
