Q: When I was young and ignorant, I used to have bad habits. Two of these included masturbation as well as neglect of salaah.

Should I start making up from when I was 15, or from when I was 12 when I ejaculated? I am not sure when my ejaculations were clear and when it started becoming milky in appearance.
