First whatever your parents are arguing about the problem is there's not yours. You didn't cause the problem and unfortunately you will not be able to solve the problem either. Also remember this if your parents are heading for a divorce, and arguing does not mean they are, it does not mean that either one of them loves you any less. Regardless of the problems they both are facing their love for you goes unchanged they may just have a problem showing it right now.
If your parents are heading for a divorce or having a rough spot in their marriage. I can see where you could be under a lot of stress. There are plenty of books for parents on how to help their children but I do not see any support groups where children can go and talk about how they feel and find out how to cope with those feelings.
It is important that you do learn how to cope with the stress and feelings you have for if you do not cope with them properly it would be understandable to me that you are bound to end up on the wrong side of trouble. Getting yourself in trouble is not what you need and it is not what your parents need at this time. Guaranteed with their own problems they will handle your badly.
You need to have someone you can talk to who can help you deal with the stress and problems you have. You can get that help by asking your parents directly to find you a therapist who deals with children of divorced families. You can also go to a trusted teacher and tell him/her what is bothering you and what may be happening at home. Your school system by law can then step in and find you the help you need.
Most important is to remember what I said in the beginning about none of this is your fault. Therapy for you is what is needed and anything you say in therapy is confidential and does not go back to your parents or anyone else so you can talk freely with any therapist you are meeting with.
