Can you compress your spine in your teens through exercises and gymnasts that you dont grow in length or its stunts growth?

No worries: That does not happen in the normal course of human events, meaning we encourage children, teens, and young adults to be as physically active as they wish. Their routine check-ups are times when they can discuss their activity level with their doctors to see if their sports activities are "overdoing it." A small number kids do "overdo it" and need to scale back their activities to avoid injuries.
