I'm 17 and my mother has been collecting my benefits from my dad and doesn't buy me anything. She pays my phone bill and that's all. My question is if I would order stuff I need on-line for myself and my kids will I get in trouble?

The money you get is for your needs. Needs include rent, clothing and food. Who is paying for this? Your mother may be using the money for that. If she is truly not meeting your needs, you could notify Social Security. She could be called in and be required to submit receipts for items she purchased on your behalf. I would not order online yet until this is settled.
Question when I was living with my parent I never really saw a dime out of the money I revive it went to car and rent Im still in high school Im now a senior I do work Less almost h/t could I use my benefits and pay my own rent and what nots
You say you are 17? Are you still in high school? Are you married? Who supports your kids? Who do you live with and who pays the bills (rent, electric, heat, water, garbage, etc.)? Who supplies food for you and your kids? Do you have a car? If so, who pays for that expense? There are many everyday expenses (clothes, shoes, cosmetics, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc) that most people tend to forget - and all cost money.
I can sympathize with how you feel but have you talked to your grandmother about this problem? How does your grandmother feel about all of this? Are you saying that your grandmother fully supports you and your children? Again, I have to ask a question - where does the children's father come into paying support for you and his children? I'm only asking because if this is Social Security benefits then all money will stop when you reach 18 years old (unless you are still in high school full time) and who will support you after this?
Does she pay your share of the food? rent or mortgage? insurance, car, car insurance? internet bill? water and sewer and lights?
No , she actually left me with my childrens grandmother and does not pay my rent buy me clothes nor does she pay for my food i have a job and dont feel its right for her to collect if she is not using it for right reasons ... she doesnt not give me anything and is using my money for drugs and to support herself and boyfriend ...
If that is the case, then you need to go to the social security office,
You need to go to your local social security office as soon as you can. Tell them you do not live with her, and she is not meeting even your basic needs.
I would have a talk with your mother about what's being paid for before you start ordering things online. You should be taken care of as far as a roof over your head and food with that money. Speak to her first.
