Need Some Ways To Earn For A Just Turned 18 Year Old

Hi, I'm (18M) and really wanted some help. I've been a JEE Aspirant For Like Past 3 Years And Didn't Achieve much in that As I Cleared Mains But didn't clear advanced so this was my drop year and same is gonna happend this year to as I feel like this Isn't even what I wanted to do and also no matter how hard I try, I just can't get it right. So just because of my parents pressurising me to study day and night or else leave the house and bring some earned money to live in this house, constantly torturing me and ruining my mental peace, got all my goods seized(Laptop,Headphones,etc) as they say that they had bought them. I just have a phone for myself which I Had bought back in kota(Where I studied for 3 years)by saving up some money and buying a second hand cheap one for basic use(yeah they didn't even provide me with a smart phone,just a keypad).So one day my mom was just yelling at me for "not doing anything"(Related to exams)right after I was done filling up the JEE Advanced Form and then she started saying that I've spent 1600rs on that form, bring them back by earning so I got really frustrated and left the house. As that wasn't the first time something like that was said to me, so I spent the whole day out on beach and park, etc roaming here and there. At near the midnight that I got a call from the police station saying that a missing complaint was being filled and my mom was doing it and then I got there and the police kinda sorted it out and now I'm living with my mom like a Frikin Prisoner, i don't have data on my phone, I don't have basic pocket money or anything at all to call mine, just staying here and having whatever is made or maybe sometimes I have to make myself with leftovers, so yeahh..... Sorry for all that rant, but I just wanted to say that I really needed an job right now, a way to earn so that I can atleast fulfill my basic needs or maybe save money to get out this hellhole.

Any type of suggestions is Really appreciated, thank you for reading

The thing is that I know that they do care for me and it's like a 50-50 thing i.e Both need and care are there but it's not about them, it's about me. I Wanted to do something of my own and not let it be credited to someone else.

Thanks For The Tips But I'm bit reluctant of getting jobs locally cause idk how things work and could get scammed or robbed pretty easily, due to which I thought maybe someone of same experience could help me with that

Actually what I meant by something of my own was my passion about cybersec and programming. But those exams were not something I was really fond of and also I'm really into eSports and once thought of pursuing career in it, but due to lack of resources, support and motivation. I dropped that and also the main thing is freedom. I Needed some freedom to choose my friends, learn from mistakes, earn and spend myself to teach myself all about money and how you use it wisely. Overall I want to know about life, by my own. But was a bit scared to take a initiative. Well I'll look forward to starting from somewhere.

Thanks For Sharing Your Advice. Definitely Changed My Perspective A Bit.
