Bullshit. Participation trophies are good for kids.

Encouraging children to win promotes the idea that you have to measure success in relation to other people. Competition can be fun, but when winning becomes the only goal, kids stop trying new things and focus on the things they are "good at."

Boomers would be better people, and we would share a better world if their parents had given out some participation trophies.
