At 16 you can not receive support directly to you, it is awarded to the parent who has custody so they can provide for you. You at 16 do not fully understand everything that you need, and the money could even technically be used to pay the rent or the electric bill. The courts feel that the custodial parent knows best how to spend that money, not the child.
