It may be in your best interest to confide (carefully) in a respected teacher at school that things are not well at home. I am hoping/praying that the arguments re verbal and not being helped by drugs/alcohol or violence. Maybe in a calmer moment you can ask (carefully and tactfully and above all without a sign of resentment) each parent (alone) how you can help the parent and that there problems mean a lot to you and you want to be a help and want the best for them. At no time allow yourself the pain of thinking you are the primary cause of arguings. Based on experience the root cause of most (but not all fights) is over money--the lack or misuse of--evil in the eye of the beholder if I may. Sometimes parents grow apart and sense the other significant one is no longer the center of the universe to them. This is sad but more common then you think. I hope things get better. This is a burden I woudn't even want on the ex-daughter-in-law fondly known as Devil Child. (But she's a different story.)

I don't know how to suggest a "help" for you, my friend. If you go to a church, the minister/priest, etc., would be a good person to speak to, as they are trained in such matters. Barring that, a Guidance Counsellor at the school is good. Then you could speak to your family doctor, as they could confidentially give you some helpful advice. I am not a professional to advise you as to what is best, but I hate to hear that you are suffering so. Yes, it is totally not good and needs to change. YOU are worth it. Good luck to you, and if you need to vent here, then vent away. Cheers, Kizzo
