No. No they don't.
If you damage your spine, then there is a possibility. But if you stick to correct form, then there is little to no chance that you will.

People say you shouldn't bodybuild until your body has fully developed but the people who say that are as skinny as me lol and alot shorter, I wouldn't worry too much. Especially at the age of 15, don't let it act as a deterant to your body building. Get lifting soldier! 
P.S. Mr O has it right, FORM IS KEY. Do it right and the rewards will be too.

Yes, I thought it was common knowledge that regular bicep curlz will prematurely close your growth plates

Yes, they will stunt your growth. Possibly even decrease your height.

it won't stunt your growth unless you injure yourself badly enough.
You talk about symmetry, but if you don't work your lower body then well you are going to just have to say the same thing later down the road "I really want my quads/calves/hams to catch up with my upper body". It can only help, and so if you are serious about all this then you would just do it

it's hard to start up legs for most people as it can be very hard to do... but once you do it it just becomes easy and even fun.

O'RLY?
listen, if you train just chest and arms, your normal anatomical structure will be messed up. It's also great running around with big arms, big chest, weak as hell back, and chicken legs...looks like a pretty crappy physique to me...
I also lol'd at the title for a while.
