Danielle Fishel now realizes how inappropriate some of the comments that were made to her during her teenage years were.
During a recent episode of her podcast Pod Meets World with cohosts and former Boy Meets World costars Rider Strong and Will Friedle, Fishel talked about becoming “an object of desire at such a young age.”
Fishel played Topanga Lawrence for seven seasons on the ABC show Boy Meets World, starting at age 12 in 1993, with the show ending in 2000. She later reprised the Topanga role as an adult for its Disney Channel spin-off, Girl Meets World, from 2014 to 2017.

And in hindsight, that is absolutely wrong.”
Now, at 43, Fishel realizes ” I should not have been outwardly talked about at 14, 15, 16 years old. And I was, even directly to me.”
She continued, “I had people tell me they had my 18th birthday on their calendar. “I had a male executive — I did a calendar at 16 — and he specifically told me he had a certain calendar month in his bedroom.”
Even that salacious remark didn’t phase her, “because we are peers, and this is how you relate to peers.'”
Finally, at age 37, the lights went on.
She realized after a series of failed relationships that she was “bad at boundaries” and had “absolutely no expectations of how you’re supposed to

Boy Meets World alums Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and Will Friedle are closer than ever — but they can’t say the same for their relationships with former costar Ben Savage.
Will Friedle isn’t the type of person to answer his phone while at a lunch — especially at a work lunch. In fact, he may have better manners than anyone I’ve ever met. But this was an exception. We’d been sitting for about 10 minutes — Friedle, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and me — gathered around a corner booth in a Studio City restaurant. “Oh, my gosh, I’m sorry, I have to take this,” he says after pulling his iPhone out of his pocket.
