Participation trophies and medals suck. They really do, ask anyone; just not a mother with 4 kids that thinks her children are perfect little angels, and deserve trophies and ribbons for doing absolutely nothing just so they feel like they accomplished something. Participation trophies, take away from the first place winner, and they aren't teaching kids anything. When kids get older they won’t get raises and promotions just for showing up every day. In the real world you don’t get a participation

For centuries, the trophy and many other objects have been used in sports to decide between a winner who has worked hard and a person who has lost. Research shows that when children are given trophies for participation they are manipulated into thinking everything else in life should come that easy, but when in the future they figure out it is not, it is too late. The trophy is mainly a symbol of a winner or a loser, but when you give everyone that “trophy” it loses the overall meaning and becomes

Children Get Too Many Trophies We spend an estimated $3 billion on trophies every year in the United States and Canada. For that same amount, we could buy every kid in the U.S. four soccer balls or three books. Every public school in the country could get 122 Chromebooks (Perez).

about sports, I was never too upset over getting last—after all, someone had to. But I was always baffled by the fact that despite putting in minimal effort, I was still earning ribbons. To me, participating isn’t an achievement, and nobody deserves a trophy for it—I assumed people participated for the enjoyment. I ran track, not for the ribbons, but because I loved running.

There has been a debate on whether you should give your children participation trophies or not. In my opinion I believe that kids need to be told that they did well but not necessarily giving them trophies to represent they did a good job. The focus on giving out trophies every time someone does well will start to become meaningless after a while and then soon they will realize that they didn’t really earn it, it was just an item to make them feel good about participating.
