Only with steroids: There is no truth tha lifting will stunt your growth, However, at 18 you may still have some growth time left. If you take steroids like testosterone you will seal the areas on your bones that allow for growth and yes in that instance you could stunt any growth you may have had, Don't use steroids just exercise and you will be fine.
