No. resistance bands aer a good way to get a workout.

Working out won't stunt your growth. You just need to be careful that you don't overdo it and stres your joints.

Try doing some bands exercises every other day (MOnday, Wednesday, Friday) and running or jumoping rope or something you like to do for sports on the other days.
