Do you know of any sites where I would be able to make a French pen pal?
Preferably one my own age (14).
My teacher told us to try to get one as homework to help us with our fluency.

I have tried doing that but all I get is people looking for internet weddings :S
Have your mom discuss this with your teacher or principal. For you at 14 to do this online is very dangerous, as many penpal schemes online are fronts for prostitution and child endangerment. It is difficult for me to believe your teacher intended you to do this as an assignment. As a parent, I would be visiting the school principal immediately.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here is what I used to use for my students and hopefully they are still available:

However, as you have already been advised, it is best to work through your French teacher.

I understand that you are looking for a French pen pal around your age, 14. It's great that you are trying to find ways to improve your fluency in French.
Firstly, I recommend discussing this with your teacher or principal. They would be able to provide you with guidance and maybe even connect you with a suitable pen pal program.
If you are still looking for online options, it's important to be cautious. Unfortunately, there are risks associated with finding pen pals online, especially for someone your age. Some platforms that claim to offer pen pal services can sometimes be fronts for illegal activities.
However, I can provide you with a couple of websites that used to be reliable for finding pen pals. Please note that I cannot guarantee the current reliability of these sites, so use them at your own discretion:
1. About.com offers a section dedicated to French pen pals. Here is the link: http://french.about.com/od/penpals/French_Pen_Pals.htm
2. Europa Pages also used to offer a pen pal service for various languages, including French. You can find their pen pal form here: http://www.europa-pages.com/penpal_form.html
Again, it is highly recommended to work through your French teacher or school to ensure your safety and get the most reliable and appropriate connections for a pen pal in French. They might have specific programs or resources that they can recommend.
Remember to always prioritize your safety and privacy when interacting with people online.
