It's great. Back in 7th grade, I was tiny. weighed something like 85lbs, of which all that was brain. Sure, I did a lot of work outside, but then I got into lifting weights. I'm 4 years older, weigh 108 and bench about 140. I can't tell you how much happier I am because of that bench press and curl bar.

I have more energy, I'm healthier, and happier. My physical endurance has increased- I have greater lung capacity and can plow my way through most obstacles. Start at any age- it's good no matter how old you are. Depending on age, however, it may affect the growth rate.

If you're working with the heavy stuff, always get a spotter. I had to throw a squat bar with 175lbs of weight over my head because I lost my balance and tripped. My trainer (who trained Casey Viator, the youngest Mr. America and a homeboy from my area) said that he saw a guy about 15 years old in powerlifting catch his foot on a nail int he clean and jerk, lose his balance, and compound fracture both elbows. So caution is needed.
