Do not work out 'till you've grown up completely.
Seriously, do not.
I mean, you can lift weights and stuff to keep a good tone, but do not go as far as body building because that will stop your growing up.
And no, it's not a myth, I've heard it coming from multiple physiotherapists and from a few doctors.
Also, at your age, it's better to strengthen up with sports, swim for your back and arms, run for your legs, etc...

Normally to get your muscles bigger you need to work out...you might gain some strength though

Agreed, let mother nature take its course and don't slew her of course. Then work on stuff you want to work on after... if you feel you need to.
