take your time , don't rush things and if you are unsure about all of it , make sure you stay safe and maybe wait until you can fully sustain yourself

Well, you could do it a variety of ways. But I would be prepared for their reaction. They could potentially even harm you or throw you out of the house. So I would be prepared for this first. If you think they would be supportive then it's not an issue.

You have to realize that they will love you no matter what. Even if they may judge you initially, a parent's love is an assurance that they will embrace you. Coming out to the people who care about you the most is the most liberating feeling in the world.

First, find out if they're homophobic or not. If they're homophobic or its not safe to come out to them, don't. Safety is your number 1 priority. I suggest if they're homophobic to come out to them when you can live on your own. If they're not homophobic, you can come home with a lover if you're homosexual, or have anybody of the same sex. You can bring it up during a car ride or dinner. I suggest during a dinner or a movie or whenever they're in a happy place.

If you feel like they might not accept you, try to remind yourself of how much they love you and how they've helped you in the past. Try reading a pamphlet on this. Also, if you need, try talking to a trusted friend or sibling first. They might offer you some advice that a piece of paper couldn't.

It's a very scare thing to come out to parents, I understand that. I think it's mostly because of the fear that your parents will think differently of you. My suggestion is that, when you confront them, you tell them that you're still the same child that they care for.
