What are some safe sites to meet a teenage penpal?

Since I'm a girl, it'd be nice to have a girl penpal, however I'm not too picky. I would love a site where I could meet people who could really use a good friend (i.e. kids with cancer (or other terminal diseases), kids fighting depression, etc.). I would prefer a site that does background checks, and is free. E-mail pals would be nice, too, since that's a little safer than posting your address.What are some safe sites to meet a teenage penpal?
