I first cut when I was 6, not sure if I did anything before that as my memory is a bit iffy. I also used to purposely annoy eople until they would hit me or lock me outside, etc when I was younger, but not sure if that was self-harmy or more logic of "it's going to happen anyway let's at least make sure that I deserved it".
When I was in my early teen years (can't say when exactly, once again memory issues) I stopped cuttng, but I started doing other things and when I was 16 or 17 I started cutting again.
As for hiding it... I remember after the first time I did it I paniced and hid the thing I used and everything to do with it, but the times after that I'm not sure... I vaugly remember my cousin telling me that it was disgusting and I should be ashamed, and I do remember hiding it after that, not sure if I kept hiding it or not though.
I don't remember actively and consistently hiding it until I restarted at 16/17
