Looks like you know her more now, eh? I'd move out.

(I have a sneaking suspicion, having been 18 and all, that the reason for moving in with Grandma was not *soley* to get to know her better. But, I don't know her/his life, you know. Maybe they are besties.)

Well, it's about time the elderly got to reminding people that only sailors use condoms.

Can you even punish an 18 year old?

Her house, her rules. Live with it, or move out. It's likely she's just trying to protect you, but the happy thing is that you're an adult and you don't have to live there if you don't want to!

I'd move out. You don't need to live with someone to get to know them.

This. And honestly, judging my friends that I've had that then became room mates, sometimes living with someone just makes you like them a lot less =P

Yeah if moving out is an option, the door's probably open yeah?
If it's not, have an honest conversation with her where you say, I'm 18, I'm not a floozy, I'm a responsible adult, and if there's truly a problem with me befriending males my age then I don't think this is the best living arrangement. I think you sound like a sweet and understanding person and your grandma just has a narrow view of how the world works today.

As long as your true goal isn't to get pregnant and do drugs, I think it's completely reasonable to say you need time with your peers.

Hang in there!

I think the way it's worded on spotlight is really confusing. If people are just joining from there and thinking that blurb is good enough to be the userinfo (which is clearly what they're doing) you're probably going to get quite a few more of these for a while...
