The age is not a legal requirement for a pilot license; however you need to show enough maturity to be given the commands of an airplane. Your flight instructor will not give you authorization for a solo flight until he thinks you are a safe and responsible pilot.
I've heard of a boy who got his pilot's license at 12; this is possible, but exceptional.
