Rather that relying on the advice you might be receiving here, which is unreliable and providing mostly by people who aren't attorneys, you should see a local attorney.
Although there are some federal standards tat might apply, labor laws vary by state. Your state's Labor Department might have some information that would be of use to you, but just contact a local attorney. Most attorneys will give a free consultation just to see if the matter is worth taking on and an attorney is in a much better position to advise you in the viability of any potential claim you might have.

Check with your state's department of labor. Some states have laws about the hours a minor can work. Even if your parents consented to you working those hours, the company could get in trouble with the department of labor. But unless the company was forcing you to continue your employment with them, the chances of you winning a lawsuit are slim.

You should not be working in a graveyard if you under the age of 18.

Why did you agree to work there, you could have found something else. This is what is wrong with America people want to sue for everything, your next employer will ask if you have ever sued an employer and if you answer no and they find out different, lying on a application is grounds for termination. We all want to sue even if it is our own fault, that why lawyers are rich and we stay poor.

Depends on how long ago it was. And if your parents / guardians gave permission for you to work, then you can't sue.
