Maybe younger kids, but I could only imagine being harassed and ridiculed as an older kid sitting in the friend chair.

It's like the difference when somebody gets hurt. Younger kids run to the hurt one to see if they're OK. The older kids tend to scatter and disappear as quickly as possible.

Definitely not my experience growing up. I'm sorry.
