Were the lessons that being presented too misguided?

Girl Meets World was you could say, a show where the moral of each episode all seemed to be same. The typical formula appeared to be that Riley wants something, doesn't know how to get it, her friends/family help her, she doesn't make the best decision, but it always turns out well in the end.

For example, there's an episode where Riley wants to be a cheerleader. Even though she's acknowledged as being bad at tryouts throughout the episode, Riley acts surprised when she was not picked to be on teams.

Ultimately, everybody bands together to convince the coach to allow an objectively bad dancer like Riley to be on the cheerleading squad. The point is that instead of teaching children about what life is really like (a set of disappointments and that the world is not full of getting what you want), everything works out for Riley in the end.
