Damn, that sucks.

Things may seem bad now, but maybe having everything out in the open now is better than continuing to live a lie for who knows how many years?

Or if you would rather lie to avoid making things difficult between you and your family, maybe tell them you were misled by one of your classmates and that you regret what you said/did and promise to be a devout Muslim for the rest of your life.

Sometimes especially in certain cultures, the latter has far far better outcomes. This kind of thing can turn into a person being completely disowned by their family and tossed on the street with absolutely nothing. I see a bit of that fear in OP's post. It's terrible but some cultures believe that strongly I suppose...
