in terms of our entire generation being ~ showered with participation trophies ~ 1) i don't actually remember that being the rule. 2) when i *was* given a participation trophy i don't remember ever thinking "wow, i won!" and finally 3) you idiots gave them to us, blame yourselves
I suspect our generation was actually pushed into a lot of competitive activities we knew perfectly well we weren't suited for, more the satisfaction of the adults around us than for ourselves
