What to do if I’m 17 years old and live with my parents who keep threatening to send me away and I don’t have my own bed to sleep in or any type of privacy to even change my clothes?

Yet they say that if I leave they will call the cops.

I suggest that you speak to a teacher at school about the domestic issues you are having where you clearing need help and intervention in what seems to be a toxic living environment. The other option is that you may want to contact your local social services department (child protective services) for assistance.
