I Really think that doing wieghts will not stunt your growth… I know A LOT of Huge (tall and built) people that I used to wieght lift with. Bench press is a good exersice.

14 is a great age to start body building. That’s around when I started. Do you seriously weigh 15 kg or are you lifting 15 kg? If you weigh 15 kg then that is so light I don’t know how anyone can live with that much light weight. In America, we use kilograms and pounds. 15kg= 33 pounds (take the kilograms and multiply by 2.2) but if you are in another country I guess it’s different. Anyway, to get stronger, you should probably do Bench Press, Shoulder Raises, Power Cleans, Power Shrugs, Dumb Bell Curls, and any hammer overhead presses.
Stunting your growth is not a prob. 14 is a good age to start training. Just know your limits. Most of your coaches in school will start training you by now. Try just doing light weight and make sure you stretch good before and after. Triceps try doing braincrushers and strait bar push downs. Biceps some hammer curls on the ropes and straight bar curls with the bar on the bench. if that is to heavy then just use the easy curl bar. Pecs. u can always count on the bench press and butterfly press. Make sure you do all your reps slow down and explode back up!
