Report it. Even if you did something to make her mad, that is considered child abuse. If you live with her or she's in your house (either one) report it to the police. If you are afraid/reluctant to contact the police and go to college/high school tell a trusted adult. I hoped this help. Good Luck

If you live with your grandmother or she with you and your parents she has no right to touch you or discipline you in this manner. To touch you in this manner or to attempt to discipline you in this manner is child abuse, and depending on circumstance could even be considered attempted murder and or assault.
Given your age you may be above the age of consent so just what the legal charges could be would hinge on your age. No matter what the charges would be if you live with her or she with you and you now fear for your safety then you need to report what happened to the proper authorities.
If your parents are no longer alive or are for some reason unable to care for you and is why you are living with your grandmother. Then you have every right to report this incident to the police. You should not live in fear of being harmed in your own home. It matters not why your grandmother choked you; even if you did do something to enrage her. As long as she was not in fear of her own life she had no reason to harm you in that manner.
If you are reluctant to report this to the police then I suggest if you are still in high school. Talk to a trusted teacher or your school principal. Once you tell them what has happened there are procedures in place for them to help you and see to it that you remain safe in your own home.

You need to report it or tell a trusted adult and they'll help you.
Do you live with your grandmother? If you do, you can't live there anymore because that's no good for you at all.
So report it and it should never happen again.

You need to report it if she was aware she was doing it. Sometimes guardians door once and never again. Lost times, it is only a matter of time before they do the same thing again or do something worse. If you are too afraid or don't feel comfortable doing it, confront and ask why she did a terrible thing. If you don't feel safe in that home, you need to get away. However you can.
