What do you think would have happened if Prim had gone into the games?

lets say that there was no description about Katniss and the hunger games was solely based on Prim. (that is what i believe is the debate here) So i think if prim was still good with medics then she would know how heal herself without the supplies of the conucopia. She would most likely be allies with Rue because of their same age, girls that live in that type of future wouldnt understand how hate each other.(unless one of them came from Districts 1-3 and most likely envied for what they had the luxury of)So prim and rue would understand how hard it is to be living in warfare and bond over that. Back to prim she might survive the hunger games because they would not need the changing in rules of the games because prim wouldnt fall in love with anyone. So she might win the games if she is good enough to hide away from any dangers(mutts and other tributes) but mostly likely he would turn into the mockingjay as soon as she steps into that arena and katniss would most likely talk to hamitch about her protection.
Well technically Prim probably wouldn't have made it through the first day but Collins probably wouldn't end the story that way. She would come up with some sort of twist to keep Prim alive long enough to win the games.
She may have survived to thé last 9
Prim would've died, and maybe Peeta would die protecting her.
I think she would have survived the bloodbath by running away and hiding in the woods. She would have used her knowledge of plants to survive for a few days but I think she would have died of either exposure or been killed by a wild animal as she was not a hunter like Katniss or skilled at climbing trees like Rue. I like to think that she would have teamed up with Rue, Peeta, and maybe Foxface. In many ways Prim would have been a great ally to have as she is a skilled healer and would have known what plants to use to treat wounds.
I’m really not sure what would happen, because we don’t really get to know Prim much in the trilogies. All we know is she’s a nice person, that cares for people in the hospital. So yeah, I’m not sure what would happen...
This isn’t about antagonism in a schoolyard, this is about survival. All in all, Rue was basically a replica of Prim in Katniss's eyes, so she wouldn’t have been able to kill anyone. There is a very low chance that Prim would be victor generally, but the only perspective we get of Prim is Katniss’s, and she’ll obviously portray her sister as a delicate flower, so we really don’t know what would happen in that situation. But let’s all admit it, none of us would survive in the games anyway, so we can’t really blame Prim. Smh.
Prim? Survive?No,No,NO!
This is all wrong, she's just a healer, NOT a surviver, OR a killer
Plus, 12 year old is too young!
I believe Prim would find many alies because people need her healing skills. I also believe Prim would have a lot of sponsers because like Katniss says anyone who has met her can't help loving her. In the end it would come down to her and Glimmer because she would not die and would end up being a great killer. Prim would kill her by pretending to be friendly and healing a wound of hers but she would end up poisoning her.

But no, I don't..."
I think Prim and Rue could have allied. Prim (maybe) would have died on the 3rd day because of either Marvel or Clove.

Haymitch only started helping Katniss and Peeta because they proved their skill in the train car, so I don't think he would have helped Prim much at all. And she wouldn't have been able to kill anyone because she wasn't strong enough mentally or physically. She might have gotten a temporary ally because of her healing, but I think they would have turned on her after. She would probably have died in a matter of days, if even.
I think it would have been a much shorter book
I think she'd only survive for 2 or 3 days max. For food, hunting is not an option, but she knows about the edible plants and nuts because of that book their dad made. She can survive for a while with those but then she'd need water which even Katniss herself had trouble finding. But let's say she does find water, she still won't last long; she can't hide within trees like Rue since she has no experience with climbing trees, she doesn't have strong allies to help her like the careers (I think she'll eventually team up with Rue and/or Peeta but let's be honest, they were kinda useless until Katniss came), and she surely can't do any form of fighting.
If she had gone into the hunger games she would have definitely been pitied by the Capitol what with her age, blonde hair and blue eyes - which are rarities in district 12. However, she has never been as mentally or emotionally strong as her big sister as she didn't have to be the parental figure after her dad died and mum went into a recluse. She would only survive if they rigged it or the Capitol managed to send her enough stuff for her to wait it out
I feel like she would die early, she doesnt have the physical strength of Katniss or the mental strength. Also, one of Katniss’s big motives to win was because she didn’t know what Prim would do without her, while Prim doesn’t have that motive, also she wouldn’t kill anyone and I feel like she would have hid a lot but eventually be found or they would kill her just when it starts

, though, she probably would start to go hungry, since she probably wouldn't kill an animal for her life. She would have then stumbled around aimlessly, either being found by rue, who would be in the trees and take pity on her, or be found by the careers. IF she were to be found by the careers on the second day, i think Peeta may have pulled a fast one and saved her. (assuming that he was still with the careers and alive...) In the end, she may have allies, or an ally, but i do not think that Prim would win the 74th annual hunger games.
