My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Virginia

Sure she can. You'll be an adult and nobody is required take care of their adult children.
Or, in this case, grandchildren.
There's a background here, obviously, that you haven't shared. Without more information it's difficult to say more than to "make nice" with grandma, while exploring any support or resources that may be available to you if you are kicked out.
Something missing here...l.in general VA does not impose a duty on GRANDparents to care for grand children at all, never mind to 18.
she can kick you out before you are 18 too and require you to return to your parent(s) or to be a ward of the state if your parents are deceased or unfit.
Sorry forgot background new to this site. Both of my parents are unfit To raise me. She took me and my sis in when she didn't have too when we were little. She is full of anger and hate. And every litte thing I do upsets her. She has been taunting of kicking me out since I was 14. And I was just wondering if there was a law to prevent that.
When you're 18 you're on your own, kiddo.
Thanks y'all helped a lot.
Unless she is being compensated to care for you she may be able,to show you the door even earlier ..
She would of shown me the door. So I guess she might be. Are there places I can go to till i finish school or I just need a job and my own place
