So I'm only 16 and people are particularly judgy at my age, so it's slightly different, but I relate. I recently started college in the UK and I haven't come out to anyone there. The topic of boys has naturally come up numerous times, I've had girlfriends but when they ask me about my dating history I just vaguely say "oh you know, a few short term relationships in the past." I feel like it's a bit of an elephant in the room but I don't feel comfortable coming out at all, since even if they don't think of me badly they'll think of me differently and I don't want that.

Yeah. Teens are a different story. I forgot you were a teen. I lost friends when I came out and was disallowed in my friends and even a gfs house, in my twenties too. People were worse then. But it is hard and it sucks to be a teen.
