I don't know what to do. Someone help.

First of all, evaluate if they might react negatively. Do you have any reason to suspect that they might? If you have some reason to believe that they do, I suggest holding it out for a bit, as I see you're in a very vulnerable position as a child.
If you don't believe that they'll react negatively, then you should just set up a meeting with them and tell them.
Just my two cents.

Good advice. Do not put yourself in the position where you might end up homeless or physically injured. Plan a safe exit strategy: save some money and have a safe place to go to if at all possible. Depending on which country you're in get in touch with an organisation that can help you if need be - the Trevor project or Stonewall. I really hope this advice isn't needed and they tell you they love you and will support you. X

Be open to their reaction not being perfect.
It's very likely they will be overwhelmed, surprised ... and may time some time to adjust.

i know this sucks. but being prepared for it can make it easier.

(but if course you should never accept horrible reactions. being overwhelmed is no excuse for being an a**hole)

Speaking as someone who recently came out I would first think about the worst thing that could happen. Then make a plan of what to do if that happend. Then I would watch them. If they say anything homophobic or supportive I would take note of That. Then try coming out to friends that you know would accept u and not tell anyone. After if you feel comfortable you can try coming out to your parents.
