Honestly, you're not ready to tell them. You need to get some practice at constructing logical arguments against the ridiculous ones they're going to present to you. Just hang around here, read some posts, and before you know it, you'll be prepared for just about anything your parents could throw at you. Additionally, you'll know and be able to recognize the types of things that they would listen to, and even more importantly, the things they'll ignore. This game is chess, not checkers. There's no easy "king me", you gotta learn how to earn a "checkmate".
Do I (sound like you at 16)? How so? I actually debate people all the time and I can defend my atheism but my mother doesn't care about logic, might as well defend my view to a brick wall...
