InterPals.net is a really good place to semi-anonymously find teens in other countries, and you can search by age group. I used it for a couple of years and it was a lot of fun, once I found correspondents I clicked with. As with all online profiles, be ridiculously careful about what personal information you provide in case someone isn't who they claim to be, and if the correspondence feels a little weird to you, end it and block them if you need to. Have fun!
