re: This is what happens when kids are given participation trophies

100 % accurate. I see it all the time with youth sports. All kids are required to play a certain amount of time, we have playoffs for the losing teams and everyone gets a trophy. It's a fairy tale that is being sold to these kids. It's not the real world. They never learn that winning takes effort and hard work and that daddy can't help you all the time. It's time to MAGA and it needs to start at all levels.
