Everybody used to pick on me all the time. You know. They picked on me and beat the crap out of me every day. People always used to make fun of me and do this and do that. Then one day, my ninth grade year, I decided to play football. Went out and I was good, and they's like, 'Who's this boy?','Where did he come from?'" Teenage Diaries producer Joe Richman gives tape recorders to young people around the country to document their lives. 17-year-old Frankie Lewchuk lives with his parents, his brother and two sisters in Mentone, Alabama.
