As a teenager I found a passoword of a friend in a paper, it got me hooked

I started with Linux and got used to going around and using the terminal for various things
learned how to operate it to a certain level , then enjoyed some Nmapping and general networking 
moved to HTML , then python

It all started when I got DDoS'd on Xbox Live. I wanted to know how they did it and started researching. Ended up on Hackforums and the rest is history.

Got hacked as a teenager for being your usual retarded kid, but it kinda ruined my social life, starting getting into computers, from playing with Windows XP, to scripting and getting into sys admin as a career.

middle high school ,

start with make cheat code in cheat engine. :D then php, html/js @school

Cheating in games, kind of a shitty way to start, gave me a shit ton of bad coding habits which I inherited from lurking other cheating forums, but it was fun.
I'd consider it a fun way to get into RE, and programming in general, as long as you completely ignore code from forums like UC, GH, etc. cause most of the code you'll see there is absolute aids.

Started because covid, no job, no skills, no income, need survive. Now with a remote job and decent income. Thanks youtube!

me tooo, im start coding in my old age, jsut for fun
