Glad you clarified. Yes, you can travel back to your country if you already have permanent residence. You can use your green card to be readmitted to the U.S. after your trip, as long as the trip is less than one year. If you only have derivative asylum status through your parent but have not adjusted to permanent residence yet, then it would not be wise to travel to your country as it could jeopardize your asylum status.
