    I feel for the millennials who have to deal with this.

    The participation trophy is older than they are, dating back to at least the early 70s.

    They of course didn't decide to give them to themselves.

    i don't see how you criticize another generation while the Boomers are still around. Now that's a disaster. Even their dying is going to be a burden.

    Hey I think that a lot of the failures of our society stem from poor parenting. Luckily I was raised that you have to work hard for what you want.

    yeah plus, trying to say millenials were the first to get participation trophies, or are responsible for them, is just dumb. classic boomer move there. i find them extremely entitled. and slow, in many ways.

    Good thing I never said any of this. Just that they would be upset without getting one.

    You can overcome poor parenting but it's not easy.
