 Have you talked to a rabbi, or some other religious leader about your decision to convert? I am sure that they have experience dealing with similar issues from other converts, and they probably have some insight to offer you. They would understand your fears and concerns.

 Hmmmmm this is a really hard one, its a sin in islam to change religions, and i cant see your family accepting it.
Can you live life without them? if so go ahead and change religions and live with the consequences, but seeing from your age your ever so young to make such a huge decision!
i see changing faith like getting married, its a huge decision!
Dont convert to anything just yet, give yourself a few more years before you rush into anything because your still ever so young, and there is a lot of similarities across all religions so try and study a bit more about islam before you give it up completely.

But if you must tell them now, give them a letter, because in letters you can keep your cool, and say what you mean to without forgetting your words. You could get out of the house for a substantial period of time, and let your parents calm down before you face them if you leave a letter. Good luck!
