First time in a light aircraft at age 11.
Went solo at 16.
PPL at 17.
Instructor at 20.
Now 27. The younger you start the easier it is and the more intensively you can train the better.
The Air Training Corps is a good place to start for anyone under 20. They will teach you how to fly and teach you more than is needed to know to pass the PPL exams and half the CPL ones. For free.
