Sweetpea. I don't have an opinion as to whether or not you should tell your friends and/or family. But I can share my own experience. I am a bisexual male. I had never told anyone since I first started to figure it out for myself. However, recently I told my girlfriend (of one year), who incidentally found it very sexy that I was - a big surprise. I felt such a relief to just share it with someone. Keep in mind that it's usually far less acceptable in most circles to be a bisexual male as opposed to being a bi female. So then I told a few ex girlfriends that I am still close to. They were completely cool with it and even found it pretty interesting.
I felt more relief in just kinda not feeling like I was hiding something. it's not a good feeling. I didn't realize how much I needed to just not hide a small part of myself to someone close to me. After I told the ex girlfriends, I started thinking, I can tell more people. Eventually, I came to figure that I really don't need to tell anyone else right now. I have not told any of my guy friends, that's another story altogether.
But I felt much better about myself and the relationships I have with my friends since I quit hiding that part of myself. I hope you figure out what's right in your situation. and good luck.
