Morgan Smith I agree with you✨💕

[@chloeplacke9957]

@@morgansmith3545 I know this is two years late but the problem wasn't her getting the good grades or liking a good guy at all it was the fact she turned into Riley to do it. She stopped being herself and in the video you see her not being her self you see her essentially being numb because she's being something else and that's why they didn't like it. They want her to get a good guy and have good grades but still have her firey personality and her to be herself

[@Captain_Effy]

@@chloeplacke9957 Actually the point of the video was to show the hypocrisy. "nonsense it's impossible to become somebody else". And "I'm a teenager, no teenager knows who they are". Riley says this and yet claims that because Maya finally feels safe and comfortable with her new father figure and not denying her feelings for the sake of Riley, that she has "become her". When in reality, Maya felt comfortable enough and supported enough to grow and change like everyone else does in a healthy environment. " i have hope now" vs " You're always wrong or you're always right, idk i don't listen I just stick up to you automatically." The truth is Maya is growing and changing. She went from deep trauma surrounding her dad and being the "bad girl" to finally exploring new things now that she isn't in such a deep hole. She knows who she is, and the person who she lets walk all over her and tell her who she isn't the most, is ironically, Riley, her best friend. Now Maya is insisting that that's who she is. Finally standing up to Riley in the entirety of the show whole Riley goes "la la la" and not listening. You can even scroll through the comments and see the video creators response and comments on this exact thing. This is what she was trying to prove. She's numb because now she's backpedaling. And she did do so because the show's creator knew they were being cancelled and couldn't continue with this storyline. You can research more on this. But basically, the storyline is that Maya, because this change and confidence is so very new, and because she never stood up to Riley before, she reverted back to her original self. Denying her feelings for Lucas and going back to "I just want to put Riley's needs above my own." Having someone, especially your best friend, sabotage, even if that wasn't their intention, your growth is super confusing. Maya finally wants nice things and is overwhelmed and filled with guilt, cuz the second she isn't in detention anymore, Riley tells her to change who she is. That's why Maya feels numb. That's why the video ends with "I owe you an apology Ms.Hart" "Everybody does". You can read the video description and tumblr theories if they are still there.

[@quetimporta3096]

@@Captain_Effy Se que...probablemente no entiendas el español pero tenía la necesidad de contestartexd Entiendo tu punto, pero de hecho, Maya se estaba convirtiendo en una especie de...marioneta de Riley, y Riley no se daba cuenta de eso. Su amistad se hizo un poco toxica, es decir, maya no opinaba, Maya solo seguía a Riley, sin importar lo que hiciera o dijera. Te puedes dar cuenta con el pasar de los episodios que Maya perdía su esencia y empezaba a actuar mas como Riley. No está mal que Maya saque buenas notas, o que se comporte bien, está mal que esté perdida y no sea ella misma. Claro, ningún adolescente sabe quien es en realidad, pero es esa la etapa en la que la descubren, maya ni siquiera estaba en el camino. Cuando Maya dijo "¿Qué tiene de malo que nos guste el mismo chico?", y Riley dijo..."¿Nos gusta?", eso fue como un click. Te explico: Desde el episodio en el que Maya se viste como Riley, la imita y todo eso, supuestamente se da cuenta de que ella quiere a Lucas como novio y que Riley quiere a Lucas como hermano, pero era todo al revés, Maya quiere a Lucas como hermano y Riley lo quiere como novio. Pero, ¿por qué Maya llegó a esa conclusión? Pues porque cuando te empiezas a comportar como Riley, te gusta lo que ella. Te gusta la ropa que Riley usa, te gusta como Riley tiene su cabello, y te gusta los chicos que a ella le gusta. Creo que la intención del programa fue mostrar esa confusión para crear un triangulo y luego regresar las cosas como estaban, de eso no estoy segura. Eventualmente, a Lucas también le gusta Maya, porque esta se empieza a comportar como Riley, y a Lucas le gusta las Rileys xd En fin, siento que era necesario que Maya pase por esa fase y se encuentre a si misma. No niego que Riley se haya estado comportando muy mal como amiga, siento que se olvidó de Maya por un tiempo, perooooo, lo bueno es que se dio cuenta que no todo es sobre ella, y que a veces hay que escuchar a nuestras amigas, aún mas cuando están gritando. uwu es genial hablar con gente con distintos puntos de vista :3

She did become Riley. She even admits that. It wasn’t about grades and hair. Riley even says that Maya wouldn’t take anything from anybody, ESPECIALLY when her teacher came after something precious to her, but she did. Riley trampled all over her in that conversation to prove that point. It was never about boys, or grades, or detention. It was about Maya not standing up for who she was anymore.

[@alupatz9503]

Jonathon Banasiak I never said she didn’t like him. But the fact still remains that Maya stopped fighting. Riley started teasing Lucas and being more forward, but she was still optimistic and kind and full of love and happiness. Maya got good grades and wore different clothes, but she stopped being Maya. Stopped standing her ground. Her teacher attacked her art, and she didn’t even care. Her voice still being her voice doesn’t matter when she stopped using it.

The writers are/were fully aware. Riley can be wrong and the diagnosis of what was happening with Maya was wrong.

Ashley Guerrero oh so Maya saying Riley is not good enough to be a cheerleader thats fair right riles never got an apology or when Maya told Shawn your ganna protect me from her anr pointed at Riley she never got an apology oh Riley finally believes in something and maya says i need a break from you and all these things you belive I don't recall riles ever getting an apology

[@Ccfaith]

Heather - keep in mind the WHOLE group thought she wasnt good enough to be a cheerleader because she'd tried out before and wasn't that great. I think the thing between shawn and riley was just a joke. Riley judged Maya for finally getting good grades and being happier and having hope again, which is something Maya deserves an apology for. It was huge and rude as hell for Riley to say the things she did. Riley wanted Maya to be better at school and happier and have hope and then the second she did she told Maya that she needed to change back to who she was.

[@Raquelwatchesstuff]

That end literally killed me. That scene killed me. People thinking that Maya has an identity crisis is really pissing me off because she didn't have one, but they sure pushed her into one. Getting good grades like Riley AND Farkle, changing your style LIKE Farkle and liking the same boy as Riley are common things that happen every day to every teenager. Everyday we change a little bit. And they messed up Maya's mind. Especially Riley and Josh. Now don't get me wrong, i think Riley's intentions were good but she wasn't right, now Josh is a completely different story. What right does he have to show up from nowhere and tell Maya who she is and explain her actions when there's absolutely nothing to explain. He wasn't there. How can he just tell her that her feelings for Lucas were fake and that she 'became' Riley to protect her best friend? He doesn't know anything. You know what time does to people? It makes them grow. Did anyone say Farkle had an identity crisis for changing his clothes, hairstyle and even the way he acts? Did anyone think that he wanted to be Lucas or whatever? No. Because people grow, people mature, people evolve, people CHANGE. And he changed just like Maya did. In my opinion(keep that in mind), Josh was being selfish. All those times Maya told him she liked him and he simply turned her down. Now she begins to move on and he appears from nowhere, dismisses her feelings, tells her she's not being herself, when he hasn't been there to get to know her or the person she became, and suddenly tells her that he'll play the long game? He can't do that. He has no right to do that. You know what he did with all this? He made her think that she likes him and only him, don't even deny it 'cause it's true. He tells her all that shit about her feelings for Lucas being fake because she was torn between the two of them. Please remember the last scene of this video because that's the only thing right right now in this show. Everyone owns and apology to Maya, and one day she'll get it.

[@Vampxiii_]

[@vxntxn]

R wat sucks is she never got that fucking apology

[@blackcat9513]

I agree,, she deserved an apology

[@milkpdias]

What upset more about this whole thing is that, it was all Farkle fault. Farkle manipulated Riley. When Riley found out on Texas that Maya likes Lucas, she immediately stepped back and said " Well you're right, I love him like a brother " because she noticed that Maya did that for her the last 2 years. But then, there was Farkle, and his "I know everything way", Riley said to him "Maya stepped back for me when she knew that I liked Lucas, if she has feelings for him how could I not do the same for her? Then Farkle manipulated her to believe that Maya didn't really like Lucas by answering "You don't that, you don't know how Maya feels, I don't think she knows how she feels". He was the one who said all this stupid stuff to Maya, not once, and made Riley doubt abt her friends feelings and even personality. Farkle was the one who did Riley forget who her best friend is, I think what happens here is that actually Riley is the one who lost herself not believing in her best friend anymore, and bring manipulated by Farkle, then everything turned into a mess, and a lotta people got it's decisions interfered by the consequences of this entire stupid thing.

[@Evortanium]

i hate how riley is telling maya how to feel and how to think when maya has her own mind and feelings that are unique. riley telling maya you make fun of lucas bc you like him is such a fukcing bitch move because maya starts to believe that when she mightve still been confused and trying to figure out what she really felt and why

[@jeni5086]

i don’t understand why the phrase “people change people” is repeated so damn much but as soon as one of the characters starts to change or does something that’s out of the ordinary for them, one or more of the character freaks out is like “this is not you” someone please explain bc frankly i don’t understand

[@devonevans6636]

+jeni well I think its repeated because of the people who are around you or the people who influence you to be who you are. The phrase is sometimes true but not all the Time because some moments can change you and some moments can't. "People change people " pretty much means if you have good friends and nice people around you then you're going to be who you are no matter what another person thinks of what you do or what you say that's why I think the phrase is repeated so often.

[@Flutterfly23]

It's not that they're "freaking out" about her changing. It's the way she's doing she starts to become less and less of herself Riley is right in this case but maya doesn't see it. Riley did change maya but just a little too much until she starts to find herself again. The episode where maya comes across her old " friends" is. Good example of the real maya. She didn't sit back and let them talk to her the way they did or try and push her to be something she's not. She stood up to them and put them in their place and made the right decision to not vandalize the status that's how Riley impacted her she made the right choice.

[@Vampxiii_]

The only thing I Think is. People do change people and that's the theme. And i think they tried to show that not everyone will agree with the changes. Even if that's how they wanted you to be in the first place. But I could be reading it wrong.

[@thetrashinyourbasement7898]

Faith Luera She wasn’t changing her personality. She was just finally being happier. Riley isn’t the only person who is happy. She still stood up for herself and her friends, but what no one realizes is the one person Maya was never gonna fight was Riley herself. Maya would give up everything, if it meant Riley was happy. She was never Riley and she never will be Riley, but she has a right to be a little happier, a little better in school, a little less of a rule breaker. She deserves hope and support, but all they did was tell her how she wasn’t herself because she a little bit of all these things. That’s bullshit. (Sorry. I’m really passionate)

[@karinarose2726]

I think Maya is so mature and doesn't get enough credit for being such a loving and good person. the writers need to make Riley understand Maya has feelings also and she is emotional, Riley isn't a good friend for saying Maya needs to stay the same Maya she was when she was in middle school but Riley herself is allowed to find herself and grow up mostly mature. Maya is strong and deserves the best life.

Like it feels like people just want to use maya to keep them happy. She was happy with her new clothes and grades. She was smiling so much. Then when everyone was accusing her and riley started to shout at her she got confused and upset. You can tell by her voice. Lucas loved maya maya loved lucas. Riley was selfish just to get lucas. Talk about toxic. Josh was manipulative. Guess it runs through riley and josh. Just lying for themselves. Maya kept saying she was fine. like what? Does riley want maya to be happy? Tbh the onlt reason maya changed was because she found her hope. And realised she needed to be better to achieve a future. I hate when riley fans state that riley is depressed. SRIOUSLY. WHY WOULD RILEY BE DEPRESSED IF SHE IS THE MEAN ONE AND SHE HAS A FAMILY. WHY WOULD SHE BE DEPRESSED OVER A BOY. i get the bullying but she got friends to help her and you can be depressed for like a week.

I think she did changed, but Riley just perceived it wrong. Unlike Riley, Maya actually grew up - more quicker than Riley. Riley has a mind of young teenager however Maya is a different case. Maya grew up quick because of her broken pieces, she became mature. A young woman. Maya is Riley's guardian, like a mother. Riley expects Maya to be there for her as a friend and Maya follows that because she knows that Riley needs her. Riley rebels still yet Maya transitioned into a young woman.

Oh my god, this is incredible! And so spot on. I too am obsessed with reading theowldetective's analysis of the show. Riley is so so wrong about Maya and the issue in this arc and honestly I hope Maya gets an apology from her one day about this whole thing because she's been a tad mean even if she has good intentions. We can see from an outside perspective how skewed Riley's view is because Maya always sacrifices for her, she very rarely stands up to her like Riley thinks she does. And she's screaming not because she's lost herself and become Riley, but because she's torn up about the triangle and how she thinks it's going to ruin her friendship with Riley.

[@mguo]

I'm not buying any of the writer's "Maya became Riley" bs. The past few episodes are just that: a load of bs. The show continuously preaches "people change people"... and yet, as soon as Maya begins to change--new hair, new clothes, liking the same boy as her best friend, getting good grades, having _hope_... they start saying that she's "become someone else". Honestly, Maya is so, so much easier to relate to and that's why I really want Lucaya to be endgame. *sigh* On a side note (lol): this video is absolutely stunning; too beautiful for words. It's so aesthetically pleasing and I agree with your message :)

[@LunaLovegood745]

This! Istg maya did nothing wrong and on the topic of lucaya they would've worked out so well, lucas is one of the only people that can calm maya down, and maya cares for lucas

[@capofsno]

riley was a total jerk in that episode. like when maya said “what’s wrong with us both liking a nice guy?” and riley just said “do we?” in this sassy voice as if the world revolves around her and no feelings matter but hers and it just put me off. and she was just mean about “keeping lucas” and was so inconsiderate towards maya’s feelings that maya was manipulated into thinking she was someone else. and that whole maya became riley storyline was really ridiculous. like there had to be one perfect good girl and one messed up rebel for the world to work. they were teaching her all these lessons and when she finally decided to listen they all blew up on her. she was just growing up. maya isn’t defined by how many times she’s in detention and in opinion she didn’t even change that much aside from her clothes and her not being in detention. and when people tried to make her “back to normal” she retaliated saying that she didn’t want her place in the group to be the lying thief but they didn’t listen. and maya wasn’t allowed to feel what she wanted to feel because riley had lucas first and any possibility that lucas may have liked maya was crushed because either way he was tied to riley. and maya wasn’t allowed to be right. it was always riley and i just got sick of it. lol none of my friends like girl meets world so i just had to rant thank you for coming to my ted talk

I will be forever grateful that you made this video. It just highlights Maya's personal growth as well as the multiple moments where her loved ones unconsciously repressed/prevented that growth.

[@hendersonishita2988]

I feel like Maya is so underrated. I almost cried in this episode. Maya sacrifices everything for her friends. She does everything possible, even if it hurts her, so Riley can be happy! How can someone not see that? It's so stupid to say that Maya became Riley. Did Maya become Riley? No! Maya matured, she feel in love and she started caring. She started caring about school and she starting becoming happy. Honestly I was so pissed at Riley in this episode. Is Riley the only one who can be happy?! Honestly I don't think Lucas picked Riley. I think Maya backed off, cause that's what she does. She does everything so the people she loves can be happy. Who can honestly believe the reason Maya liked Lucas was "because she wanted to protect Riley" and all that crap? I think Maya didn't change. Instead she just started to show who she was in the inside. What hurt me the most was when Riley said to "fix her" Maya isn't a toy. She's the same Maya she's always been: kind, caring and fierce. Sometimes I feel like Riley doesn't deserve Maya as a friend. She hurts Maya so much and she doesn't even realize it. Maya's strong. She's beautiful and bold. And she's fierce. Regardless of the clothes she wears or the grades she gets, she's the same girl. The same Maya who cares WAY too much for her friends, so much that it hurts her. Sometimes I really wish I had a friend like Maya. A friend that would go out of their way to make me happy. Riley doesn't know how lucky she is. Riley doesn't deserve Maya. I was so disappointed in Lucas over the ski lodge thing. But honestly, I feel like he hurt her a lot too. Maya honestly need ps a person that will not judge her and that will make her happy. I don't care if she's with Lucas or with Josh or with any other guy. I just want her to be happy cause she deserves it.

[@sasukeism6881]

I don't understand the writers, what was their life lesson/message? Don't try hard in school and get yourself in trouble? Cause that's the vibe they gave off.

[@justbrrreddi-395]

I think they're trying to tell the viewers to be yourself, but they failed on that and instead taught a bad lesson (getting yourself into trouble).

[@justbrrreddi-395]

And the other good lesson that the writers are trying to teach, is that the people we surround ourselves with influence us.

[@kevinlinkll9531]

Okay Chanelle basically " fit your friends needs and if you used to be a slacker in school and your bff an a+ student and suddenly you're doing better in school you're really becoming her and you should stop immediately or else you may start liking the same boy as her even though you seem to like him for totally different reasons than she does. hope IS for suckers!"

[@laurex7879]

The writers are shit, they created this triangle by accident and when people started watching the show because of it, they explored it.. but in the end (again, because they are shit) they went for the cliche romance that screams disney all over it, gave the worst explanation in the history of explanations for the triangles's "solution", and destroyed what could have been they're best school lesson: First love is not always the only person you are going to fall in love with, and it's even more special the second time because it teaches you that you can be loved again.

[@Xtinejay18]

Honestly going through Lucaya videos because I miss them. I missed their dynamic. Their relationship. It really made me angry when the triangle was "resolved." It angered me because after it was so called "resolved", Lucas and Maya never actually had a real conversation with each other like they used to. It became awkward, and to me it became apparent that they were ignoring each other. Say all you want about Maya never liking Lucas or Lucas never liking Maya, but if they never liked each other... why is there so much reflection over their relationship? Why did the love triangle last so long if Riley and Lucas were meant to be- if he never liked Maya? Why would they not have a real conversation with each other after the triangle was resolved? They hardly talked, hardly looked each other in the eye. It was mostly for Rileys benefit- and their group. This makes me want to do a fanfiction- one that isn't immature (12 year olds wrote) like some I've come across. Girl Meets World ended, but my love for Lucaya hasn't.

I keep hitting replay every time the video ends, it becomes more beautiful every time I watch it.

[@kassandralee8165]

Honestly I don't get how Maya became Riley, all the episodes that we saw leading up to this episode, she always seemed like Maya to me not Riley. If anything I thought that she was growing up, but she was still Maya, she still was sarcastic and sassy but she was also starting to mature and get good grades. She starting getting hope, too. I thought thats what Riley wanted for Maya. I don't get how Riley can say that when her father taught her the answer a little while ago, people change people, she changed Maya, and because of her Maya is maturing, but she's not becoming Riley, she still Maya she's just growing up. And I also don't get how Riley can say that, but when Farkle starts to grow up and become more mature, she lets him and did nothing. I guess I kinda see where Riley is coming from a little but I still don't see how Maya became Riley. I also feel bad because when she starts to be "Maya", all Riley could do is think of all the bad situations that happened and pinned them on Maya. I don't remember her stealing money when she was younger. I don't remember her pulling a fire alarm. I remember her setting off sprinklers on accident. I remember her taking a Locket from the lost in found because she wanted it to have a home, because she felt bad that something so beautiful was lost. She wanted the locket because the locket symbolized her. Sry I'm weirdly passionate about this topic.

[@wardapologist]

It hurt so badly when they, mainly Riley, forced an identity crisis on her. I know Riley felt lost too, but her telling Maya that she couldn't change or grow as a person made her actually have the identity crisis that she did. The reason Maya painted the purple cat is because Riley made her SO DISTRESSED. Any time Maya tried to stand up for herself, Riley would tear her down, they would tear her down. So she went back to the way things were because at least then, she wasn't under constant attack. It just kills me because she found hope, love, and let herself CARE. And they ruined that for her.

[@LunaLovegood745]

EXACTLY

[@adeleaslan8182]

I gotta say, Riley is an incredible toxic friend and this is why: when maya starts getting good grades and maturing Lucas started liking her more and Riley realized, so she tried to make maya self conscious so she would be more immature so she could have Lucas

Maya was starting to feel less depressed and less sad but Riley telling Maya to be more depressed and shit like that She can't understand that Maya is growing up ofc she won't fucking be a rebel or do shit anymore she wants to be mature

[@kanejshipper]

I wish so many people would stop hating on Riley she was the best character in gmw for many reasons she was kind, caring, selfless, she always put her friends needs above her own for example Riley always liked Lucas then Maya decides she likes him too that was so wrong of her you can't say if that happened to you that you wouldn't be angry cause anyone would if they found out who they thought was their best friend wanted to date their longtime crush but that's more proof Riley was such a great friend she would have been so happy if Lucas had chosen Maya cause she cared about Maya feelings more than her own and I'm not saying I agree with Riley about Maya becoming her but she had good intentions she was just genuinely worried about her friend

[@lani50]

@@kanejshipper Regarding the whole "Don't like your best friend's crush" thing, I think this concept is kind of flawed. Reason being, you can't really predict who you are going to like and I get why the person who liked them first would be angry but it's still a bit unreasonable. You can't stop someone from liking who they like and in the end, it's the crush who chooses who they want to be with so......yeah this whole thing is just flawed. Its not a decision you can make like that and Maya was evidently conflicted about her feelings. She didn't intentionally start to like him.

[@kanejshipper]

@@lani50 yes Maya may not be able to help her feelings but she never should've acted on them knowing how much Riley always liked Lucas Maya should've just pretended she didn't like Lucas until she could move on that's what a real friend would do if you're a real friend you don't want to date your best friend's longtime crush just imagine you always liked someone then you find out your best friend the person you trusted most in the world wants to date that person knowing you like them that's so wrong anyone would be so upset at Maya if they were in Riley's place all the ones taking Maya's side are only taking her side because it didn't happen to them if the same happened to them as Riley they'd agree with her people should try to understand how upset Riley must be but she's still being an amazing friend to Maya this shows how mean some people can be by bashing Riley for no reason

[@kanejshipper]

@@lani50 and I appreciate you're not talking bad about Riley's character, thanks😊 it's hard having a debate with people when they are so set on hating Riley for no reason just like I don't hate Maya's character I was just disappointed in her with the way she did the Lucas thing she was an amazing friend until the series decided to do the Maya Lucas Riley storyline that never should've happened at least Maya eventually goes back to liking Josh instead of still wanting to date Lucas

[@sinoncube5048]

I don't understand the fact that throughout the show everyone's been preaching about how great having hope is but when Maya finally has hope. It's a bad thing? Character development is a thing. Why is getting a good grade a bad thing? Not getting into trouble? The turning into Riley thing was absolutely ridiculous.

[@MidnightSky]

you just got yourself a new subscriber, i dont know how I've never seen your channel before today but im SO GLAD now that i did!!! THIS IS AMAZING AND SO ON POINT AND EXACTLY WHAT I FELT WHEN I SAW THE EPISODE. I was so mad with how they handled her 'identity crisis' I hated it. Maya turned into a great teenager, she's still fierce and speaks her voice and is still full of fire, but she's not gloomy and pessimistic as much anymore, she smiles so much MORE, shes getting good grades, she's not falling behind in her school work, she's not wasting time in detention and getting a bad record. And clothes and hair have nothing to do with that. I think the only reason Maya thinks she's become RIley is because Riley is making her believe so and she's also planting this seed in her head about Lucas and her feelings for him even though she clearly started liking him when she was still acting as herself in season 2! This was a perfect example of who Maya truly is, amazing job!

[@belovesick]

Yessss, is like Lucas said in GMFarkle "but if you get called something enough, don’t you start believing it?", Riley pushed so hard that Maya started believing it too. When the art teacher says that she hasn't lost her voice is already too late, they only pay attention to the purple cat. :| And thank you so much, sweetie!

I don't think she was trying to be Riley I think she was trying to be the best person she could be, who happened to be Riley.

What bothered me SO MUCH about them trying to convince everyone that Maya became Riley (which makes absolutely no sense) is that they act as if Maya can’t evolve. As if she can’t grow, and do better for herself as her life gets better. People don’t just stay in a dark place, they grow and evolve from it. That’s what Maya did. Her personality never changed ONCE. The only thing that changed was her willingness to do better for herself.

[@nicki6355]

Riley says: "She's gotten good grades, she's behaving all over the place" and "Not stood on a teachers desk, no detention in a while"... Like how the fk is that a bad thing?! That's growth right there! That's MATURING! And we're framing this as a bad thing? That growing up and changing is a bad thing? This arc, was the worst written arc in the entire show, and it's NOT close.

[@mikewheeler-jt8zt]

Not only that but Maya became hopeful and they instantly turned her down, all she did was get good grades because she has a better life now, and she changed her clothing because Shawn bought her new clothing, and shes liked Lucas from the very start and can’t hide her feelings any more. She became hopeful for things and all of sudden shes Riley? Its so heartbreaking

[@amayas570]

@@nicki6355 You’re absolutely correct! There was no sense behind that arc at all. Maya was just growing up, and losing that childish/rebel personality that stemmed from having to always take care of herself while her mom was constantly at work and her daddy issues. Being around Riley and her family, and resolving her own familial issues, would only make her mature and lose that childish/rebellious behavior. Maya matured and started to see life in a different way, while staying true to herself. Never once did I think her maturity was linked to becoming Riley. She’s always acted like herself. I hate what the writers tried to pull off. And don’t get me started on the Josh and Maya storyline. That always made me sick to my stomach.

Maya didn't change, she matured she showed her true self. Lucas didn't pick Riley, Maya backed off. Maya didn't cause trouble in order to be deemed a rebel, she was very neglected and tried to gain attention in order to fill the hole in her heart. Maya always helped and cared for other people and didn't care about who they were or how they changed she still accepted them. Every one says "people change people" than when Maya showed what she was truly like they say " fix her" like she's an object or "Maya this isn't you" they aren't accepting who she is, Maya Hart is a pure angel. Either way Maya is still just a girl who went through too much at young age.

My Opinion Okay so- When Maya finally tries to start being who she is Riley and everybody else says "This isn't you!" she's finding who she is now! And Riley is trying to change her "back" so now what if Maya is faking being a rebel and really wants to be good, and have good grades. Riley even said "it's impossible to become someone else." and she's right all Maya is trying to do is become who she is now, and Riley's stopping her... Maya keeps saying "I'm me! I've always been me!" and Riley is basically saying no. I loved the last part where it's like "Ms. Hart I owe you an apology..." "everybody does." LIKEEEEE BRUH I WAS CRYING.

honestly I wish Maya has a moment in the show where she just explodes and gets to that breaking point with Riley. I feel bad for Maya because I feel like she really did like Lucas but in other episodes Riley would get all excited when it seemed like Lucas wanted her and didn't care if it hurt Maya. in the end Maya chose to keep her bestfriend and give up someone she had feelings for. Also lately Riley has just became so rude and mean to Maya and Maya sticks around for her but I feel like there should be an episode where Maya and Riley kind've end their friendship and reality hits Riley and she realizes she needs Maya. That won't happen though because the show makes Maya seem lost witout Riley and Maya usually always apologizes to Riley afer a fight even when she's not wrong.

Maya hasn't changed at all. She is just going through some new feelings and changes in her life. Maya wants to become a better version. She doesn't want Riley to see her so much as a rebel. She wants Riley to see her with hope. There's nothing wrong with getting good grades. There's nothing wrong with good behavior. Riley needs to understand something. She needs to understand that just because Maya is wearing different clothes than she normally wears, or a different hairstyle or even a boy. That doesn't define her. Personality defines on who you are. Not on what you wear or what hairstyle you put your hair. Personality. She's still the same Maya. Inside and Out. In Girl meets True Maya, Maya proved something to those girls, she proved that she's not like them, she's Maya. A girl who is strong, and independent and has hope. Maya isn't weak at ALL! She knew that breaking a window or smashing that statues head will be her being weak, so she didn't do it, she was strong. I love Riley, I believe in Riley.....I always do.....but honestly, truthfully, I don't think that Maya shouldn't be fixed. Maya just needs to be herself and that's all it matters cause who Maya is now is nothing wrong at all. Also when she asked Cory "how come I ain't bad anymore Matthews?" She has the right group of friends who won't let her do anything reckless. I personally think that Riley should just let Maya figure out everything and let Maya be herself. Thank you!
