Q: I am a 16 year old junior in high school who is studying French. I would like to do something like study abroad in Quebec, but not for very long, just 2 or 3 weeks. I was also wondering if it was possible to not take the classes, just stay with a host family and learn culture and see what daily life is like.
Even if you find something that doesn't go with everything I want, please let me know. I am open to all your ideas. Thank you!

If you are interested in taking French language and culture courses, I would recommend taking part in an intensive language course- most, if not all, programs will find a host family for you. I did the same thing five years ago, although I did not stay with a host family...I studied Spanish language in Spain for two months, and had the option of staying with a family, though I chose to live with students instead.
Here is a program I found in Montreal, which offers language courses, usually between fours weeks to several months.
http://www.learnfrench.ca/french-language-program-courses.aspx
...at the top of the website, you can click on the link, "homestay," to get more information on that.
I'm not sure if you can stay with a family for such a short period of time.. you could do an "au pair," where you are hired to babysit children in exchange for housing, but that usually requires a long term commitment (around one year). I'm not sure about options of staying with a host family for less than one or two months...
but if you are interested in taking language and culture courses (which I highly recommend), there are plenty of programs. You can google, "French language programs, Quebec," and you'll get a lot of results. Montreal is a beautiful city, with lots to do, but if you'd like, there are also other places in Quebec you can study in.
Hope I helped!

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.
I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
