    If you want them to know, then you'll find the right time to tell them. Coming out is hard, even if you know your family will be accepting. If you don't feel like you need or want to tell them, though, that's fine too. It's your life, and you have the right not to say anything until you're sure that you're ready. It sounds like you're really stressed out right now. I know how hard this can be, especially at 16. Try not to worry too much about your little brother getting a girlfriend. It sounds like if your mother is accepting that everything will work out fine in the end, and you shouldn't have to feel pressured to tell them if you aren't ready. I wasn't ready when I came out (my mother actually asked me) and I would rather that I'd had the option to wait. I can also understand feeling like you need or want to tell your family right away, but forcing yourself will probably just make you more stressed out and it sounds like you're under a lot of stress already. I hope this helps.
