Should Kids Always Get a Trophy? Do you think we have gone trophy crazy as a society? Lucas a sixth grader agrees. He complains about his trophies saying he has no room to put anything, he has even resorted to using a trophy as a door stop.

When ever I

Do you think kids get too many trophies? In my opinion, we do. They make kids lazy, and can send the wrong message, but also, they have good intentions. Participation trophies tend to make kids lazier. A lot of people say that “kids don’t have to try as hard to get an award,”(3). That is said because kids, even if they aren’t good at the sport, are treated as winners because “as long as you tried and had fun, you won!” Also in theory “when kids grow up and go to college or to get a job, they

They do not put any effort into the sport at all. Some people strongly believe that not all young athletes should get a trophy. On my soccer team, no matter what, everyone ended up getting a trophy, and the kids who did work hard felt like it was for nothing. Young athletes will never learn that when people try their

Would athletes want to get a big fat shiny golden athletics trophy, but receive it for doing absolutely nothing but participating in your team’s activities? Personally, I wouldn’t want a trophy for prancing about, fooling around, and not even paying attention to why I joined the Basketball in the first place. Kids should have a passion for a sport. The can’t just sign-up for a sport, just to get the trophy at the end of the season. This controversy has been on the uprising throughout the years.

The prompt has asked for an answer to the question, does every student in high school sports deserve a trophy? The obvious answer is no, for three reasons. The first reason is, if you give everybody a trophy, it decreases the value of the trophy that was given to the athlete that actually preformed with excellence. Reason number two is, it would be teaching kids that you don't actually have to work for these achievements. The final reason is, it could boast the ego's of the kid who didn't play a

The idea of participation trophies is a highly debated topic. Throughout society, the big question is if participation trophies should be given out or not.

everyone should get a trophy so they can keep it as a memory, but I disagree with that. First, at some playgrounds or dancing school, kids get t-shirts for being on the team and I feel a t-shirt is more memorable than a trophy. Instead of having a trophy sitting on a shelf collecting dust you could save the team t-shirt. After you have gotten so many t-shirts and are done with playing sports or dancing you could turn all the t-shirts into a quilt so it can be more memorable than a trophy that can get broken

These trophies create a lack of competition in youth athletes and should not be given to children above the age of ten to help teach them life skills and to
