'Rendition'
Speaking on Good Morning America, Witherspoon said: "I wouldn't want my children to miss out on any of that teasing and bullying and don't you think it kind of makes you who you are?
"This drives me crazy about today. Everyone wins the award and then, you know, everybody's an MVP (Most Valuable Player)? No! They're not! Okay? I distinctly recall the two weeks of crying because I didn't make the softball team. It made me interesting, you know?" she added.
The actress, who won an Oscar playing June Carter in Walk the Line, has two children - Ava and Deacon - from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe.
Witherspoon recently denied claims that she is engaged to her Rendition co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
