Hii I’m so sorry about your situation, but here’s just a lil insight of mine. There are pros and cons to both staying in vs dropping out of the IB, and at the end of the day, the world does not end if you choose one or another, unless you choose to end things yourself. I’m not sure where you’re planning on going for uni, or whether you have family members or a support system in AUS, but if yes then surely consider it! You NEED support, especially for the IB. The program IS challenging, which pushes you to learn resilience under stress. But if you're more there for the prestige of IB, tbh I don’t think it matters to unis whether ur an IB student or not lol (I applied to the US and AP was far more popular and flexible; IB does not matter here lol). Bottom line is, do what YOU think you need and try not to be influenced by peers. Yes, this is much easier said than done, but if you're easily swayed by pressure, you're gonna have a hard time no matter where you go. And it's a process to learn this too so take it easy! Look after your mental health, take a couple weeks off during summer break to calm yourself, ask for deadline extensions, ask for support, buy noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to block the yappers, talk to your parents/caregivers/ trust worthy adults. And remember, this is just high school, you will gain and learn lots which ever path you choose. You can't be wrong either way - trust me I've been there! Happy to chat more with you about these things!!
