Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

If you have resided in the US without authorization all these years, it is virtually impossible for you to apply for, and be granted, a student visa, because a student visa requires that you prove "nonimmigrant intent" (i.e., you do not intend to reside permanently in the US). The fact that you have been in the US for so many years would tend to demonstrate "immigrant intent", even if you were brought here by your parents and did not come to the US on your own. However, you should have all of your facts and circumstances reviewed by an immigration attorney before deciding on a course of action.
