I’ve been going to the gym for a couple months and want to deadlift but I’ve seen people say deadlifts can make you shorter so I haven’t done them. I’m 15 so I’m still in puberty and I don’t want to risk it.

Your growth plates close because of estrogen you can't close them doing deadlifts, they're a waste of time anyways.
