 Iæm bisexual and never told my parents, or other people for that matter unless it naturally comes up. There's no need to announce it unless you bring home a man. There is no need to announce any sexuality in fact until you are in a relationship with someone and the facts come out. I mean who tells their parents they're heterosexual? No one. It doesn't have to be announced when it doesn't serve a purpose.
I think you should wait with telling your family until it naturally comes up, like when you are in a relationship with a person of the same sex as you, or if the natural opportunity arises (I often say it when people discuss bisexuals and false assumptions about bisexuals). Until then it really isn't necessary to announce.

 Do you really think it's any of their business? I mean doesnt seem like something you really need to tell them, or benefit by telling them, just my opinion.

 I completely understand that this is a very hard subject to approach and you don't want to upset your family or be pushed out. But at the end of the day you are who you are and you cannot change that. You should be proud of the person you are and be honest to yourself and your family. Yes it might come as a shock to them and they might be angry and disappointed to begin with but they deserve to know the real you and hopefully they can see past your sexuality and accept you for the person you are.
Just pluck up the courage to tell them straight out. Expect them to be shocked and angry. Give them some time to cool off. But most of all just make it clear to them that you cannot change the person that you are.
