This will depend on your circumstances and further information is needed to give a proper answer. Did you enter the U.S. On a student visa or other visa?

There are lots of laws but without doing an individual assessment of your situation it is impossible to advise you. I suggest setting up a paid consultation with an immigration attorney who can review all of the relevant facts and ask you lots of questions to determine what if any relief may be available to you.

Not at this time. You must contact the people who advocate for Dream Act and get active yourself. Ask your family/friends to send letters/emails to law makers and the president and request that Dream Act is a necessity.

The answer is that if you entered illegally and there was never any filing with immigration you are probably barred from adjusting status without leaving the U.S. If you leave you get a 10 year bar from returning.

No, there are no laws to give you any immigration relief that directly apply to your situation. Do not be confused by "cancellation of removal for non-lawful permanent residents." This is a ground of relief in deportation cases.
