The show’s protagonist, Lizzie, a quirky relatable middle school student, taught me about the trials and triumphs of growing up. She guided me through a new world of social norms and cues (those not as applicable to a 6 year old), especially re: friendship, family, and “love.” Even though Lizzie McGuire was a fictional character on Disney Channel, to this day, she influenced my own childhood development in a very real way. #youngandimpressionable #childhoodheroes
