Telling people not to weight lift at a young age is correct, but push-ups are fine. At the age of 12 I started to do push-ups. I used to do about 10 in a row 2 times a night.
Now that I am 18 I do 60 in a row, 3 times a night along with my regular routine. No one is too young for Push-Ups or Sit-Ups for that matter. I think it depends on your self ambition and your will to work hard.

i couldnt agree wiht you more mcgee,
for real,
thanx for the great info kickchick, really gave me some input, i have some sever problems with my knees, and i have been told not to really weight lift, that is why i have decided not to start until im sixteen,
i do play for my schools rugby team so i guess im gettin there, and i always do my press ups and situps,
but recently i was training like mad, and most shoulders and arms started to ache very badly, -is this because i over did it??
thnx for the info and replys

weight lifting does stunt your growth because it compacts your bones
ive started lifting quite intensly now and i just turned 17 many people say that i still got alot of growing to do but ive been 5'8 for the past 3 years now so i doubt i will be growing anymore |

let me continie what i have to say
when i turn sixteen i will only perform moderate weightlifting such as dumbells or bench press ups, though i will not perform any weight-lifting excercise which will result me putting the weight aboe my head, this will compact the cartiallge disc and shorten the back altogethe, stunting your growth, i will only perform the intense full out weightlifting when i turn 18 or 21

I actually started to do bench press, freeweight, leg press, and all of these neat machines at the age of 16...

| How much effect do you think a very light weight for an above head military press would have? Say, something prettyverylight, like 15-20kg? |

Because I look like the Ideal TKD person I dont look very strong or big. But I can do more weight and reps that most people can do at my school.
People like Bruce Lee look little but they are very wirey and strong.
