My grandma is a very bad drinker she has fallen down the stairs many times I have caought her but still I hate having friends at home because she treats my like and falls asleep on the toilet and its so embarresing I'm already going threw depression so its hard enough I thought I were different maybe she would care for me but I guess not she is still the same and yells at me all the time I need advice because I can't take this and I live with her!!

It sounds like your grandmother has a serious drinking problem. It should not have to be your responsibility to take care of her and keep an eye on her when she drinks too much. It sounds like very selfish behavior on her part to let her drinking problem affect her relationship with you. Do you live with just her, is there any other adults at your home. If you have other adults living with you I would recommend talking to them about it and seeing if they can help you to figure out a solution. If not some one living with you perhaps there is another adult you trust that can give you some suggestions, even a friend's parent or school counselor. You may feel bad “telling” on your grandma but imagine how much worse it would be if you say nothing and she falls down the stairs some time when you are not around to help her. This sounds like a very unhealthy situation and you are correct in seeking help and advice.
