I actually thought of doing the partial diploma, but the more I read about it the more I wanted to do the full one. I read that it's a freaking load of work but I'm ready to do it, it sounds just like something I'd really love.

Are you in the US? I read high schools there were a pretty awful place to be at.

I just did IB Biology and Chemistry. Physics was apparently "oh so hard kill me course" so I didn't get too much into that. Unfortunately, I don't remember much from the courses since it's been 3 years.

And I'm in Canada eh. The highschool was probably in the "safest" place in the area, full of middle/upper class families so you didn't see too many "problem" children. I don't think I was ever physically harassed, maybe you could count emotionally if wee go for Phys Ed or my later IB life. My principal didn't like the IB program though, since it enforced elitism within the school. I do agree with the sentiment though, the kids did have a knack for judging people based on personality/performance, some people actually thought they'd get into Harvard. Unfortunately I was deemed the "stupid kid" of IB in my regard, so the nerds would just ignore me, but since I was an autist shut-in already it didn't really bother me.
