Yes: Exercise and strength training are important in your teen years too. Although power-lifting, competitive body building are not recommended while you are still growing and maturing, there is nothing wrong with adding weight training to your exercise routine. Before you start a strength training program, I would advise you to seek expert guidance on safety and form.
