I was in the I.B. program for 9th and 10th grade, and I felt exactly the same way you do now. I was overwhelmed and never had time for anything else. Eventually I decided to go to a different school because it was the best decision for me. I took AP classes at the school I went to for 11th and 12th grade and I ended up getting a scholarship which pays for all of my college. The I.B. program prepares you for college, however, if you take Advanced Placement classes, it helps you just as much as taking I.B. classes. If you don't think you can handle being in I.B. anymore, just explain to your parents that you're trying your best and see if there's an alternate method of taking advanced classes without feeling overwhelmed while still achieving your goals. If you feel you want to stay in I.B., I suggest getting tutoring before you get too far behind and becoming part of a study group. Either way, just level with your parents and let them know your feelings towards the situation. Honestly, it won't affect you negatively if you decide not to be in I.B. anymore. It looks better for colleges if you have A's in standard classes than if you have C's in I.B. classes. I hope this helped and if you have anymore quesions please feel free to ask!
