If you have you will be barred from returning for 10 years. Did your parents ever try to regularize? Are you in school? Maybe Obama will pass the DREAM Act which will help people like you who are in college. I have been practicing for over 15 years.

Before you decide to move back, you should speak with an immigration attorney. Your question is unclear as to how long you have been here. I am not sure whether you are saying you have been here for six months or since you were six months old. If you have accumulated more than one year of unlawful status, you will be subject to a ten year bar of reentry when you leave. If you have accumulated more than six months and less than one year your departure will trigger a three year bar of reentry. You will then need to apply for a waiver to be able to reenter within the period of the respective bar. Depending on your circumstances, you may have other options. I suggest speaking with an immigration attorney so that you can make an informed decision.
