Can you stay in US when you're under 18 and don't have a US citizenship?

Well I moved here when I was 8 and now I'm 11 and I love it here. I go to the best school and I'm keeping my grades up. My daddy got transferred here and we're supposed to stay here for five years and well two and a half years passed, which means that I gotta go back to Korea in two and a half years. I don't like what's going on in Korea and itz schools cuz like the teachers don't even care if there's a bullying going around and actually they think you're an annoying brat and a tattletale when you tell them that you're being bullied. In here my friends are totally nice but in Korea when you be nice they actually bully you even more. So I wanted to stay here and live in my friend's house when my parents leave ( and if my friend's parents and my parents agree) but since I don't have the US citizenship I thought I had to ask or something. Somebody please help!

Well, maybe your parents would allow you to remain in the US to study. You'd need an F1 student visa, whether you go to a US public school or a private one. However, you'd only be able to go to a public school legally for one year. Sounds like something you'd have to talk to your parents about though first.

Would your parents leave you behind? I doubt. They would stay if they could. As for you, you will have to go when they do as your visa allows you to stay in the US only IF your parent(s) are here.
