P90x for teens

What age can I start P90X? or will P90X affect by growth or lead me to get injured if I start to early are common questions. It has been proven in many studies that weight training has no affect on a young persons growth or cause them to get injured.
So does that mean I can start at any age? No the problem is P90X is an extreme program and if you have had no experience with weight training you will probably do the exercises with bad form and cause you to get injured.
So what would my advise be.
If you have no experience of weight lifting and are out of shape start with Power 90 before going into P90X so you can get in good shape and learn correct form in many different kinds of exercise. If you are already in good shape i.e. you play sports regularly you should be all right to start P90X but start with light weights to learn the form so you do not get injured.

Time Table

11-13: Power 90
13-15: P90X if you already an athlete or Power 90 for beginers.
15 onwards: start P90X only if you are in half decent shape.
