£50 a week isn't enough to live on, it won't even cover your rent. But finding a job is definitely a step in the right direction.
Contact your local council's homelessness team. They may be able to help with housing. You need to emphasis the hostile atmosphere at your current address. If any violence has occured it is in your interest to discuss it with them.
Do you have any family members that you could potentially live with? Older siblings, aunts or uncles, grandparents?
Are you a member of a religion? Could you ask the religious leaders for help with housing?
Realistically you are probably going to end up having to claim universal credit to top up your current income.
Just hang on in their, I know stuff is BS ATM but you can get through it. This happens to 1000s of other young people a year, many of them go on to lead the lives that they want.

What do you mean? Are you saying you are an international student or are you a UK citizen wondering if you would be classed as homeless in this situation?
Like I moved to UK 6 months ago so yeah I am an international student
The Shelter website for the part of the UK you are in (England, Scotland, Wales, etc) will give you information on how to resolve being homeless, your rights and options.
Your local council website will also have information because they are the organisation that has primary responsibility for dealing with homelessness applications.
You should also speak to your form tutor/welfare/guidance tutor.

Generally full time students without disabilities or dependents are not eligible for housing benefit (local housing allowance) but you can check if there are exceptions or alternative benefits for those still at school or estranged from their parents. Shelter or Citizens Advice, perhaps the local council will know.

Are you applying to University? If you are, you will be moving out later in the year.
I don't see how you can consider a job when you are taking A Levels and would also be concerned that 'it is not really paid'. You would be well advised not to take this job, as it is more important to do well at school.

Do you have an NI number?
if you're on a student visa you are not eligible for benefits or help from the council, sorry. you need to explain that to your parents as i'm sure they don't want you out on the street.
if you got a job you could always pay your parents rent money, right? that would ease their financial worry.

Your options to receive homelessness support and state benefits might be compromised by your immigration status. Both welfare benefits, homelessness and immigration are really complex. You need professional advice.
I'm inclined to suggest getting in touch with Childline, as you are still only 18.

What is your immigration status and type of visa?
Some have no recourse to public funds. Whats the position on this if you know.
