If a child is forced by a parent to receive confirmation, is that confirmation valid?
 
In order for the sacrament of confirmation to be invalid the individual receiving it would have to truly repudiate its reception in their mind, heart, and will. Someone who reluctantly goes along with it still acquiesces to its reception even if he makes no use of its graces. Usually even teenagers forced by their parents to receive confirmation still accept that they are receiving a sacrament and do not knowingly and willingly reject the sacrament.
