Most likely someone else is in charge of your money, either your parents or someone appointed by the Court to oversee it. It would be up to that person, either a Guardian ad Litem, or Trustee, to distribute money to you, and they would most liekly not just turn it over to you until you are 18. They might use the money to benefit you, pay for school, or medical expenses for example, but would not just turn it over to you.
