I don’t understand how Christians simultaneously put so much and so little value in their sacraments

Allow me to explain what I mean, I’m constantly reading how you can’t receive the Eucharist while in a state of mortal sin. Yet at the same time countless of Christian parents force their children to get their confirmation. First of I want to make it clear that I have no actual numbers for this, but anecdotally I know at least 80 percent of the kids I was in Catechism with did actively not want to get their confirmation. They were just pressured or bribed in getting it. Countless of my friends I wasn’t in Catechism with shared similar stories leading me to believe it is a rather widespread practice.

I get that parents can have the best intentions for their children stemming from their believes, but this is just plain wrong to me on so many levels. Especially since the confirmation isn’t even valid if an explicit act of the will against it is made. Sure kids might not know what is best for them, but what even is the point of this? What even is the valid of a sacrament at that point?
