Is it ok for a teenager to NOT eat fruits?

I'm 17 years old. I used to eat a lot of fruits earlier..but now I've completely stopped and I'm on a lean diet to shed off fat. I exercise for 1 hour everyday too. I do 30 mins of cardio in my workout which really helps me burn off fat. I used to be fat earlier but now I'm thin thanks to my workout and diet. Now I'm trying to get down to 8% body fat to get a six pack. Now my question is, that is it healthy for a 17 year old to completely stop fruits? I know fruits are very beneficial to health and all but will there be any consequences for not eating them? Will I grow properly? Will I grow to my maximum height? My current diet is not so bad, I'm not depriving myself from calories or anything. I eat wheat, grains, meat, green vegetables, carrots , etc. and sometimes yoghurt. And I also eat till I'm satisfied, so I'm eating sufficiently.
