I am 22 years old and I am thinking to drop out to find a work or to run away from house to a shelter because of my violent parents?

I am 22 y. o and a college student. I finished my exams 1 week ago and came back home, because I live in another city for my studies. I decided to choose a field I couldn't find in my city just to be able to live far from my parents. They always disrespect me because I am dependent on them. My father is even violent, anytime I say something he doesn't like he stands up to scare me or take the remote in his hand to treaten me like he would throw it on me or hit me with that. My mother doesn't do physical violence but she does verbal violence, by that I mean she always talks bad to me, she thinks she is always right and she disrespects me all the time, yesterday night before to sleep I was on my laptop and she came in my room and screamed at me even came to see what I was doing on my laptop, I wasn't even doing anything bad I was just seeing if I could find a summer job. She screamed at me gave me bad words and told me like "yeah yeah chat your friends instead of studying for the exams you failed". I am studying in a very hard field and I also choose it to earn some value in the eyes of my parents but never works. My mother always treat me like a failure. She tells me all the time like you will continue to fail every year and all, she literaly means to call me a failure but in fact eventhough I can fail I am not a that bad of a student to be honest. She always treated me like that even in highschool, I always had good marks I was a very good student, but she always treated me as a failure unless I showed the top mark which actually anyone was barely getting it. As said before I don't even need to talk about my dad, he is just a violent person and just because he pays everything he thinks he can treat me the way he wants. I hesitated many times to go to the police but because they are my parents I didn't. But now I am really thinking to drop out to find a job in like a shop or fastfood so I could move my house or even to run away in a shelter. I don't know...

first speak to the local homeless advisor in your area
shelters for young people are not ideal
the shelter may require prof that you are homeless
if you are not working you need advise on benefits
as shelters require rent to be paid
