Coming out is a difficult time. It is full of fear and uncertainty. Everyones coming out experience is unique and it is a very personal choice but there are two things I would suggest.
Firstly you need a support network. You need someone on your side. I would suggest that you start with a close friend, relative or even a counsellor. It's great to be able to explode out of the closet but if things go wrong you may find yourself isolated.
The second thing I would suggest is to ask yourself "can I support myself? If you are worried about your family cutting you off then perhaps it is better to wait until you have moved out of home and are working.
Those are the two main things I would think about but don't let them scare you. When I come out the scariest thing for me was the thought that I may lose my family and friends. In fact the opposite happened. Because I was able to finally be myself my relationships with my parents and my family improved and the friendships I have made since coming out have been lasting and fulfilling.
Thats not to say it has all been sunshine and lollipops, but if you at least think about those two things I have suggested then I think you will be in a good position to weather any storm.
Good luck... Don't worry.You are going to be amazing!
