What about searching out some online gay forums and start participating there?

If you think there is nobody in real life yet that you can come out to, you should probably wait a bit. If you manage to go to college that is one of the most safest times in life to come out to some friends. In general start planning your future life now in such a way that it will enable you to share your sexual nature at some point in the future. And also include activities for gays and/or lesbians in that planning like Alex Wu already mentioned.

A feeling of embarassment is okay. Lots of people feel very uncomfortable/nervous/embarassed about coming out. That is all okay. Some of those feelings have a basis in reality and make sure that you don't come out to people who really cannot handle it. A lot of it is irrational though and the only way past that is to just act despite the fear at some point in your life.

I am gay too, by the way.
