ok im bi and i love my gf but my cousin recently came out to my other cousins (theres like 7 cousins) she only told the people that are under 25 so the "adults" don't know i thought the younger people would be fine with it but they flocked to my house to talk bad about her behind her back so this makes me not want to tell them and even more scared to tell my parents what should i do
(oh and sorry for the lack of punctuation)

Yes, you should come out. There is NEVER a reason not to. You must be truthful with yourself in order to live your life to the fullest and become happy with who you are. Who cares what people say or do. Are they living your life? You are. How awful would life if somebody else dictated what you can and cannot do, or chose who YOU loved.
"Free to be ME!"
Be you.

You will eventually have to come out anyway. But you should choose your moment. By the way this seems a good time because if you come out now, you also support your cousin and when there's two of you the burden is shared, but if you don't you will feel bad about it in later life.

I guess first you need to answer the question to your self, Are you truly bi sexual or are you this way because it is the hip thing to do right now.
If you can say that you are truly bisexual then you absolutely you should tell everyone, be proud of who you are. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bisexual, that is only a sexual preference it doesn't not make you any different as a person.

If your a minor, think carefully about it. What would you do if they kicked you out? It has happened to some gay youth.
Even if you don't come out, you can still challenge the thinking of the people who badmouth your cousin. Good luck.

If you want to have any chance at a strong relationship, you'll have to tell them. Hopefully they'll still love *and* respect you. If not, you've got a large adopted family in the LGBT community.

If you have no doubt in your mind that you are gay, then yes, come out. I recently came out to my family (my mom and dad). My grandmother said she'd always known I was 'like' that. Anyway, if you are comfortable with your own sexuality and know that you are gay, then YES.
Remember, that their reaction may not be what you expect, so be prepared.

If your family can't accept you for who you are, then they didn't love you in the first place. Blood is thicker than water, & they'll get over their shock after awhile.

i think only you can answer that. it depends on if you think they are ready and if you are ready.
Here's a few...
I dated this girl for two years -- and then the nagging starts: "I wanna know your name..."
The last fight was my fault. My girlfriend asked, "What's on the TV?" and I said, "Dust!"
