Generally, an immediately family relationship to a US citizen would allow you to apply for permanent residence: a spouse, mother, or father.
Keep in mind that unlawful presence begins to accrue after you turn 18. 6 months or more of illegal presence would mean you would be subject to the 3/10 year bars if you leave the U.S.
