I agree, at your age you have ample time to make that final decision. You also have ample time to get your life together, as you're only one year away from entering the real world. In today's society "homosexuality" is a very HOT topic, with all the debates over equality, medical benefits, adoptions etc.. Most families rather not hear anymore about this topic, let alone hear one of their kids say "hey i am or might be gay/bi". Sometimes holding back on the "coming out party" is a great thing, once you get settled into college (if you plan to attend) you'll be able to be yourself, find gay friends, and so on. Once you feel like you're really ready to tell your family you'll know. I would like to say that your family is going to accept you for who you are, but juding by your post thats not going to happen. Either way you have a bigger family that will, and thats the LGBT community. As for all the negative comments and or innuendos that your family makes, well they only make you a stronger, goal driven, life oriented person. There is only one person that can really tell you the truth, and thats you. Good luck, and welcome to the family.
