Yes, like Loki said, I think before we can answer "what now," we would need to know about where you live and in what culture. And even then, we can only provide vague advice. Depending on what kind of family you have, you may want to keep this a secret or if they are fairly progressive, you may consider "coming out" to them, but probably only if the positives of doing so outweigh the negatives.
I would be interested to know the different experiences between people who knew from a fairly early age that they were gay versus people to whom this news "just occurred."

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
