What are the weight lifting limits at what age?

I'm doing a project based on teen health in Technology class and I'm trying to answer the question about what are the weight lifting limits at what age? A diagram or a URL to a good site would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks
In response to the first two answers: what I mean is are there limits for a certain age which someone can not pass or else they will hurt themselves. I've heard before that you shouldn't lift more than your own body weight. Is that true?

1. There are no age limits, only personal limits.

2. I don't really understand your question. There is no limit to what someone can lift. One kid might lift 90lbs, another might lift 300.

3. Uh not at all....the stronger you get the heavier the weight...the bigger your muscles get the stronger you get and vice versa. There's no limit for age...or weight. People bench up to 1000lbs and they aren't 1000lbs themselves.
