Hi, your best solution might be a private student exchange, because there you will find people from all age groups and families with kids your age. I did this summer and it really worked great - I went to London, to Paris and to the beach in Spain. The best place is www.best-student-exchange.com where you will find hundreds of families who want to exchange and the price is peanuts. I am not sure though if there are any Swedish families...but I never looked for Sweden :-) check it out, it rocks!

Most hosting countries won't accept and exchange student under 15. Part of it has to do with immigration laws. Part of it has to do with the level of maturity that is needed to be an exchange student. Part of it might have to do with requirements of schools. Instead of seeing this as a bad thing, may I suggest that you look at this as an opportunity to take your time to learn as much about being an exchange student as you can. (Not to mention saving money.) Talk to former exchange students; learn as much about the country that you want to visit as you can; find out more about the program you want to use; study some language (if you haven't already). Good luck to you!
