Reverse psychology

Reverse psychology: a persuasion technique involving the false advocacy of a belief or behavior contrary to the belief or behavior which is actually being advocated. This technique relies on the psychological phenomenon of reactance, in which a person has a negative emotional response in reaction to being persuaded, and thus chooses the option which is being advocated against.

Basically a jail. You can't wear what you want (you're shorts must to your knees or longer), the teachers are all crazy and unhelpful, and everyone ends up pushing each-other through the hallway. People smoke weed, lose their virginity, and cry over Formspring.

reverberated

The coolest word to type because it is relatively long, and done completely with ones left hand. Stewardesses is another totally left handed 12-lettered word, but for most is harder to type with speed and ease.

It means reechoed, reflected, or repelled.
The hall reverberated with laughter.
