You could always give blow jobs to dirty old men for money. They'd pay even more if you let them fuck you in the ass.

Now, before you just figure I'm some prick making a bad joke or giving you a hard time, this isn't what I'm trying to do. Sadly, this is reality for a lot of teenage runaways. I live in San Francisco and just recently saw a news report that there were over 1000 underage prostitutes who were runaways living on the streets here. You sound way too smart to let this happen to you. So, unless you have a firm plan, don't think about leaving the house yet.

One thing you might consider is stayig with a close friend. I did this for a year when I was 17-18 because my parents moved to another state and I wanted to finish out my high school before moving. I had a part time job and payed a small amount for rent, more symbolic than anything, and helped out with household chores. It wasn't bad.I don't know if its a possibility for you but something you might look into.

Untilmately, if you have to stick it out just hang in there. Two years may seem like a long time but it really isn't when you look at the big picture. In any case I wish you luck.
