 The show starts with Corey as an average eleven year old boy. He has a best friend from the other side of the tracks, a teacher that constantly keeps him on his toes, a classmate named Topanga who he has trouble understanding, and a family that keeps his life interesting - including an older brother who seems to become more idiotic as the show progresses. As years wear on and Corey grows up, everything gradually changes. Shawn begins to feel the strains of his lees than perfect life, Topanga become more than a friend, and the constant spinning of the world leads up to Corey slowly becoming less naive and more responsible.
