No, definitely not. Push ups are a wonderful free weight exercise to help us develop our chest, shoulders and Triceps. This growth stunting because of push ups is a myth/rumour and is not true.
Push ups should don't stop your growth, since your mostly using your hands. but weights, they pull you down, so yes if you do weights you will become shorter. Hope that helped.
No it doesn't affect ur height. Even if u do too much push-ups it won't still affect ur height. Weight lifting can stunt ur height.
The proper age for weight lifting is from 21 years.
Height wise, no. This is affected by a hormone called Human Growth Hormone produced by the pituitary gland in your brain. Push ups will only affect muscle growth in your arms.
