Teen Diary - Juan

As part of the series "Teenage Diaries," producer Joe Richman has been giving teenagers around the country tape recorders so they can document their lives. This month, Juan, a nineteen-year-old from an immigrant community just outside Laredo, Texas, tells about his life with ten brothers and sisters in a small trailer home, and the pressures of living as an illegal immigrant in a country that's making him feel more and more unwelcome.
