I write this little piece of my teen past with teenagers in mind. I don't think it is any easier for a teen to come out today, than it was for me when I was a teen back in the 60's. It is still a difficult process for many. But there are more support groups today to help a teen face their family and peers. Try this site for coming out advice and support: www.hrc.org. Go to your local colleges, or sponsored state programs for support of LGBT youth. You do not have to be alone in the process. That is a huge change from the past, thanks to support groups. I wish this were true in all countries.
