There are many variables to consider. Many states are legally defined as "at will" in regard to employment - as it is here in New York. That means anybody can fire anybody at any time for any reason - with no notice -EXCEPT for reasons that are prohibited by law - or for contract workers. Same goes for employees who want to quit without giving notice.
In your circumstance - I don't know what state you are in - and I don't know if your employer told you you are being fired only because of your age. If so -they are being kind of foolish since chances are - they don't have to tell you anything.
Now - getting away from the law and onto the word "descrimination." It is not in itself an evil word. We all discriminate all the time - if we didn't we wouldn't live too long. To be specific about descrimination with employment? Personally, I think anybody who takes the risk and headaches of owning and running a business ought to be able to hire - and fire - for any reason they choose. No - it won't always be fair - but becomes worse when someone tries to fix it with legalities. In whatever state you live in - there will be a protected class of people - spelled out in legal documents. If you can prove you were fired solely because you are someone that's on that protected-class list - then you have a case.
