If your posture is *really bad* you can seriously injure yourself squatting or dead lifting - it happened to a friend of mine. I always told him to stand straight, but it wasn't easily corrected, his neck alignment was way out of whack. I'm not sure if he can lift at all any more. You may want to see a qualified coach or sports doctor before commencing get any serious lifting. Pullups and other calisthenics should be relatively safe though.
It may not help with posture, but learning to breathe in to your stomach is beneficial as well. This is helpful when squatting.
Imagine you're wearing a cape, and if you slouch it touches the floor and gets dirty. Chest up, shoulders back.
