See an immigration attorney to discuss let him know how you entered the country and if any applications have been filed on your behalf. The answer depends on these issues.

If you are under 18 years of age you may try departing the US and then seeking legal reentry through an F1 student visa.

Normally you will need a family or employment-based petitioner to have a chance to legalize your status unless you are a victim of a crime.

It sounds like you are one of the people who would benefit from the DREAM Act. Otherwise, you would need to enter into a bona fide marriage with a U.S. Citizen. If you leave the U.S. at any point, you will be subject to a 10 year bar.
