I'm so sorry you feel this way. If you feel in any way UNSAFE around your family (as in, you think they'd abuse you in any way or kick you out) I'd advise you against coming out right now. Your safety is key. However, I just came out as ftm. My conservative father took it very, very we'll.I thought he'd have a million problems with it, and he really didn't. Yeah, he's still kind of ignorant/critical about certain things, but he was so cool about me. You could try to find out how your parents feel about LGBT youth or LGBT folk in general, and determine if now is a good time to come out. I know how hard it is to wait. I'm 19 now and literally just came out. I was extremely depressed for a long time. Trust me, this storm is gonna pass. *hug*
