Is my program alright?
I'm 5'8", 16 yrs old and I weigh ~145 pounds, and I have a few questions for you guys.
First of all, I really would like to grow up 2 inches or so at least and I'm wondering if working out stops growth
I'll also say that I do not want to get really big, I'd rather get cut/ripped/w/e you want to call it. I've been training since September, although I didn't train much in December/January. I currently go to the gym 3 times a week(is that enough????), Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I currently do 3 sets of 15 reps for every exercise (I've heard that's good for getting cut?).
I'll go on and say my upper-body program(I feel my leg program is good) :
-Flat Bench Press (bar)
-Dips (I am pretty decent at them actually)
-Inclined bench (DB)
-Lateral/Front Raise with DB (Lateral raise then, w/o lowering, bring DBs together, go back to lateral and lower)
-Shrug (DB)
-Curls (DB)
-Chin Ups/Pull Ups, I tend to vary between close and wide
-Sit ups with medicine ball (these I do around 25)
-2 times 1 minute of Plank on Elbows and Toes
On my off days I often do couple push-ups because I think it's always good doing some, I do 3x15 claps or 3x30 wide/normal and 3x20 diamond
That's about it. Feel free to tell me what exercises to change/add/remove etc...
Thanks

Read this stuff:
Training 101
Guide To Designing A Routine
You have no leg work or back work in there other than shrugs. That is far far far from optimal.
Getting cut comes from diet, not your workout program. Read this stuff:
Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance
Judging by your post, you have a lot of reading to do. Taking a little time to get educated will help you more than any training critique we could give you. Once you have read all of that stuff, post a workout program based on what you learned. We will critique it for you.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”
