innocent

An innocent person is someone who won't do anything wrong. Someone who won't cheat on you. Someone who won't steal your car keys if you drop them on the floor. Someone who won't degrade others to feel good about oneself.

The epitome of innocence is the human infant. Infants smile frequently, thus making them appear more friendly. They have big round eyes, making them look innocent. And they always cry when another insults them, blames them, or accuses them of a wrong.

In general, traits generally associated with innocence include:

- Large, round eyes
- Youthful facial features (including small nose, small cheekbones, lack of a brow ridge, and round face)
- Crying in face of danger or the risk of danger
- Niceness to others
- Conflict avoidance

As a general rule, children appear more innocent than adults. Children are smaller, have larger eyes, and cry more than adults. Children are thus more innocent.

This rule also applies to men and women. Women, in general, are smaller, have rounder eyes, and have more youthful faces than men. Women are thus more innocent than men.

A lot of people act innocent, when they're actually not. For example, they will behave "nice" to others but then will gossip behind their backs. This is because they don't have the guts to be direct and honest. Innocence, therefore, may be a cowardice.

Also, many people won't break any rules, not because they are good people, but don't have the guts to risk getting in trouble.
Aww, that girl's smile is soooo innocent! I wanna talk to her. (But then she gossips about you behind your back.)

Holy Innocents

An Episcopal 3-12 private school located in Atlanta, GA whose mascot is a Golden Bear and all students are given laptops. Commonly referred to as HI or HIES, these kids can be spotted by their crimson, gold, gray, and white uniforms. Many people find the girls uniforms to resemble typical slutty school girl outfits. Holy Innocents kids either stick to themselves or mingle with other private schools in the area such as Westminster, Lovett, and Pace. Riverwood is their biggest rival, as they are less than a mile away from each other. Some HIES kids are weird, but for the most part they are pretty cool and know how to have a really good time. The majority are wealthy and some choose HIES because they cannot get into the other private schools, which is why their nickname is sometimes Holy Idiots. Some people also call them Holy Not So Innocent.
Other private school kid: "Hey, what school do you go to?"

HIES kid: "I go to Holy Innocents!"

Other private school kid: "Really? Awesome! I hear HI kids are really chill and know how to have a good time. Let's all hang out!"
