Cut Hours in Retaliation?

For context: I work at a family owned car wash and I am 17 years old. To make a long story short two days ago at work my boss shouted in my face because another employee sent the car down the tunnel while he was repairing something, when he had told me not to send the car. It is important to note that my boss neglected to take any of the typical safety measures, or tell any of the other 3 employees on that shift before going into the tunnel. Later that day, he apologized for the confrontation and admitted the scenario was entirely his fault. New schedule just came out and I was given 0 shifts this week. Completely off of the schedule. Usually I get 2 or 3 shifts a week which isn't a lot, but this still hurts me considering I am saving up money for college…

New schedule just came out and I was given 0 shifts this week. Completely off of the schedule. Usually I get 2 or 3 shifts a week which isn't a lot, but this still hurts me considering I am saving up money for college this August. I know typically people say contact an attorney or whatever but I am 17 so I think I may just be screwed. Please lmk if you have any recommendations for actions I should take or if I just gotta find a new job. Thanks.
