Dear brother

:salam2:
Salam Alaikom,
Mashallah, we are all very proud of you.

Do not be worry about anything, the one who gave you life will take care of you in any place.
If your parents fire u, try to contact the mosques around and tell them that you have been fired by ur family because u r a Muslim and u need help to get a job. Inshallah they will help u.
Other option, to live with relatives or friends.

If ur family read and think about what they have read reasonably, maybe you can show them the files in the links below , The Truth about Christianity.You can say a faraway friend or a person on line forwarded them to you and they are very interesting and he wish to debate me in a reasonable way.
Maybe u can ask them for answers to answer this man (the far friend).

Inshallah, they will get some new information if they are not stubborn.

Asalam aleacom warahmato Allah wabarakato brother Ismael Islam

Welcome to TTI. Alhamdo lillah for guiding you to Islam. I hope you find the following useful. Try to be patient with your parents, and treat them with love and mercy. Allah commanded to be kind to them.

Allah says in the Holy Quran:

"Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour."
( The Holy Quran , Al-Isra, Chapter 17, Verse 23)

We should always treat them with respect and obey them in any reasonable request that does not go against the teachings of Islam. Ælfwine Mischler, http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-about-islam/society-and-family/interfaith-issues/166598.html

"We have enjoined on man kindness to parents: but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me (in worship) anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Ye have (all) to return to me, and I will tell you (the truth) of all that ye did."(The Holy Quran, Al-Ankaboot, Chapter 29, Verse 8)

"And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness." ( The Holy Quran , Al-Isra, Chapter 17, Verse 28)

"And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal."
"But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to me (in love): in the end the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did." ( The Holy Quran , Luqman, Chapter 31, Verse 14-15)

Remember that one of the best forms of da`wah (inviting people to Islam) is through your example. If you act in the way of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and with mercy and patience, they will see the real Islam through you, through your Moral, your words, your deeds, your actions, and may change through you. Allah is with you, put your trust in him, he will help you through. Life is full of trials and tests, and through that Allah strengthens the will of his Servants and their faith. And with their patience Allah will award them paradise. May Allah guide them.

If you wish to keep your reversion to Islam unknown to your parents, it is understandable. You may use this time to strengthen your own faith. Continue your best to learn about Islam and doing your prayers, as your doing now. Learn about Allah, get to know Him through his 99 names and attributes, continue reading the Holy Quran, follow His messenger (read about his life), and learn and apply Allah’s commands and prohibitions.

Indeed, your situation is very much like the situation of many early Muslims in Makkah. They had to go through a lot of hardship to practice their faith. But, in sha’ Allah, there is a great reward and blessing waiting for you. Muzammil Siddiqi, http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-the-scholar/dawah-principles/dawah-to-non-and-new-muslims/174268.html?New_Muslims=
You should work to develop an Islamic personality—one that is honest, generous, forgiving, hard-working, etc. If you do this, your parents should notice a positive change in you and later, when you choose to tell them that you have been Muslim for some time, you can tell them that your improved personality is a result of your Islam. That should certainly reduce their objections. Ælfwine Mischler, http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-about-islam/new-to-islam/166135-can-i-convert-in-secret.html

If your parents find out or mistreat you (do not panic), Continue to show how much you love and respect them. Try not to become angry, always try to speak gently. It may be difficult at first, but things will get easier in sha Allah.

Avoid drinking, drinking/parties, and having a relationship with the opposite gender. etc. Try to be with good people/friends. Do you have Muslim friends in School/college? They may help. http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-about-islam/new-to-islam/166896.html

Allah says in the Holy Quran:

"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way."
(The Holy Quran, Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Verse 186)

"Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."
(The Holy Quran, Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Verse 227)

"Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward"
(The Holy Quran , Al-Isra, Chapter 17, Verse 9)

"Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is acceptable"
(The Holy Quran , Al-Isra, Chapter 17, Verse 19)

"Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do."
(The Holy Quran , Al-ankaboot, Chapter 29, Verse 45)

I will be putting more information insha Allah.
