I think that you should tell the friends that you know will still accept you. If they are true friends, they will stick by you no matter what. I know that if one of my friends came out, I would still accept her; just because she told me she was a lesbian wouldn't make me think any less of her. I would still want to be her friend because I would know her as a person. Your family, however, will probably need time to accept it. I say you tell them when you're ready. They are there to love you and take care of you and help you through problems. I'm sure that once they accept it and warm up to the idea, they will still love you.
Accept yourself for who you are, dear, and if others don't like who you are, then find someone who does. Never try to hide yourself or disguise yourself; nobody should have to do that. If you ever need to talk, I'm here to listen. :)
Good luck! :)
