When I was 14-15, a girl started trashtalking some pseudohacker I had in my messenger list. This guy got mad and threatened to hack me. In the end he didn't have much skills so he went to a popular forum and asked people to hack me.
Some of these people reached out to me and I found out.
I taught myself how to code and wrote a small tool to extract passwords from the windows registry and email them to me. I learnt how to bind it to another executable and prepared a payload with a freeware flash game.
I then used it on a common clueless contact to hack hist messenger and then I used the common contact to hack the target.
Eventually we became friends and after a couple of years of running warez communities, writing viruses and hacking PHP websites, I moved to normal programming and entrepreneurship, which eventually turned into a career.
I wonder where I would be if I didn't start coding early, due to that accident.
