Any judge and even prosecutors will feel that your guilt is well-placed and give you a plea deal or lighter sentence. You may even walk. If you're a minor (sounds like you are) you may get off very lightly. What you don't want to do is get arrested and have your house searched in front of your family. That's going to really be a problem.
I'd start by having a sit down with your family expressing what you've done and how sorry and regretful you are. Tell them you'd like to work something out.
If this was an internet crime I'd start with the feds IC3 division. You can give them a call. You're parents might advise you differently and even consider hiring a lawyer.
I know you may be very scared of this option but the release of your guilt will make you whole again.
You should only ever admit to do something as a last resort... Seriously, if they have no evidence, then they can't do anything at all.. If you're not sure what evidence they may have, then maybe think about coming clean but really only do that if you are 100% sure that it would be the best thing to do (Which in most cases, unless its something really serious like rape/murder, isn't the best thing to do).
It would help to know what you did but I understand you want to keep that private. You're probably just paranoid and nothing will come of it, but if you are really worrying and you want to do what you can incase they do come knocking, you should get rid of your computer ( = All evidence gone). Doesn't matter how much they think you did it, if they have no evidence and you tell them absolutely nothing, you will be released without charge.
