Use lighter weights and work with someone who knows form! Your form is more important at this stage than how much you can lift. Get involved in a good all around sport like karate or kickboxing. It will put on muscle without stunting your growth...plus it's more fun!

If you're fourteen you should be fine. Doctors and magazines are just worried about kids trying it and getting hurt.
