Today, Carrie Hope Fletcher is living her dream as an actress and YouTube star. But not long ago, she was trying to survive the many perils of the Teen Age . . .

• The Rumor Mill: The more a rumor is spread, the farther it gets from the truth. It's like a giant taffy pull.
• The Disgusting Business of Falling in Love: I've never known something to be so gleefully wonderful and soul-crushingly exhausting.
• The Twitter-Sphere: If the Internet is starting to crush your soul . . . close the laptop!
• Bears: Self-explanatory.

Thankfully, she made it through! And although memories of her struggles, woes, and foibles stick around (as Soul Shrapnel, if you will), they look a little different today, thanks to The Amazing Goggles of Hindsight.

So, in All I Know Now, Carrie shares, well, exactly that--heartfelt advice and hopeful thoughts on growing up. She just did it herself. She has the stuffed animals to prove it!
