Is it true that diet coke, coffee, and working out at a young age (like 14) stunts your growth???
Do you think it's normal?

No, but I would go very light with the weights at your age. Peek performance and winning is so important in American schools that they really place winning over everything else including academics. That means they put kids on a rigorous weight training program in both middle and high schools.

The offensive line at a high school football team from California recently had kids physically larger than professional NFL players from back in the 70s. The kids have to be taking steroids and will pay big time later on in life for it. Be smart and use weights only in moderation, for toning is ok.

I was always told that caffeine stunts your growth as a child.

maybe you shouldn't worry about things like that and start worrying about thieves who hunt on old ladies?
