I've always thought I was not exactly straight, but I didn't want to accept it. Until a few months ago when I realised it didn't really matter that I liked girls.
I first identified myself as bi, but I'm not so sure whether I like boys or not.
I've never really been in love with anyone, so that makes it even more complicated.
My mother asks me about once a week whether I'm gay, and my friends are convinced I am, so somehow it's rather obvious :P
I keep saying 'No' to them because I'm just not sure whether I'm bi, gay or pan.
I do want to come out to her and my friends although I'm not sure yet, it just doesn't feel good to have to lie to them all the time...

What should I tell them...?

edit; It's not that I want to stick a label to myself, I don't really care about that.
I just don't know what to tell my friends and mom about it.

If it bothers you that they keep asking you then tell them to stop asking, and tell them you'll tell them the label you pick, if you ever decide to pick one, when you pick it. That's what I'd do.

If you're okay with it all, you can tell them you're not sure yet, that you're still figuring out who you are. If not, you can use the label that fits you most at the moment, it doesn't mean it can't change later (my best friend told me she was bi, then gay and then bi again over the years. She was finding herself and whatnot and just told me what she believed she was at the moment.)

I'd gauge how you think your friends and family would react to it, and then see if you would want to put yourself in the position of coming out. Me personally, I was pretty comfortable with my sexuality and I have no problems telling people that I'm bi or possibly gay.

I was the same way, everyone would ask me if I was gay and they would say its ok if you are we care abt u, and this girl would even tell me, jake ur gay just admit it! my family would ask me and to all them I would say no I am strhgt!

until one day to be honest I was jo and I couldn't finish and then I started thing abt a guy from gym.

that is when it hit me, I felt my heart drop and I started crying jake ur gay I sd. then I cried even more when I sd it jake your gay. JAKE YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL then I felt so much better. I was relieved like the wight just came off my shoulders.

so I will tell you that everything is on your terms no one can say anything, until you come to terms with it and understand your body. if everyone thinks you are gay and they want to get a yes or a no from you they will have to wait until your ready.

I hope this helps bro
