Also commonly defined as BS (bullshit), is an stressful program that makes the student give everything to this 2 year course. Everything means friends, social life, sleeping hours, and why not, blood. Affortunately, there isn't such a great quantity of geeks that want to enroll this program, but malicious teachers try to "pull" masses of students to this program. They give you stupid reasons like "IB makes you a world student", "you will be accepted in all universities and/or jobs in the world", "you will hsve less subjects in your career", and so on. But finishing the course and receiving the diplomma, you realize that you wasted 2 years of your life: the most important years of your whole life. In this time, you could go to parties, meet nice girls, and have sexual relations for the first time. But while you're studying it you transform into a vegetable with no friends (the only friends you have are on a Star Wars, Yu-Gi-Oh or Nintendo club), and you stay home in a Friday night thinking on a programming project or an essay. That isn't everything: you lose hours in nonsense subjects and works like TOK or the Extended Essay, but you often don't attend subjects such as Chemistry or Biology, and finishing IB you're worried and extremely stressed for studying by your own these subjects, necessary for entering college. So it's completely false that it's easier to enter college with an IB diplomma. Be careful if you want to enter this brainteasing program: you become a freak, you'll probably need glasses, and you finish being like one of the idiot guys of the movie Benchwarmers. Finally, your IB teachers use corporal mortification to stop you from leaving the program: they stress you until they're exhausted and then they talk with your parents saying that you have the intellectual capacity to continue in IB, they make you feel like a bullshit, and they close enrolling for you in non-IB courses.
- 85% of the IB students use glasses because of the time they pass in front of a computer.
- Many jobs don't want IB students because they don't know how to maintain friendship with their job mates.
- From 100 students that start IB, 70 leave the next semester.

International Baccalaureate
An international high school diploma thingy (it kills your brain! dont do it!)
If you can actually spell 'International Baccalaureate' you are probably doing the IB.
151๐ 45๐
International Baccalaureate Program. An international academic program sponsored by Satan. It hooks in overachievers with the promise of college credit, then later explains that they probably won't get it. Most people in IB become bleached by their computer screens as a result of never going outside, find it normal to go without sleep for a week, and choose to study rather than eat. In the end they all look like zombies.
IB therefore IBS (meaning I Bull Shit or Irritated Bowel Syndrome... both occur often as a result of IB)
WHY?!?!?!

Short for intellectual belittling syndrome. The main symptom of this syndrome is using a hostile, unprovoked thought-terminating tactic to avoid a real issue at hand in a discussion. This syndrome (also known as IBS) causes usually hostile people to try to diminish others mentally in a variety of fallacious ways and describes a common self-refuting debating tactic. This usually involves discussing a topic and telling someone else (who is perfectly qualified to discuss the issue) they "won't understand it because it's too complicated." This occurs most frequently with respect to discussions about economics, politics, nutrition, and computer programming. Connected with this syndrome is having a chip on one's shoulder and a lack of understanding of the fact that the burden of proof lies on the speaker to justify extraordinary claims.
This term was supposedly invented by Jerry Seinfeld, explaining how his Jewish relatives would come over to his house when he was a kid and try to one-up him in every way possible. At the core of it, an IBS sufferer has deep-seated insecurity issues provoking and propelling their supposed superiority.
Guy 1: Why does Allan always message me out of the blue and criticize me? I don't get it. He opens any discussion as if I'm below him, won't understand what he's talking about, and am a total idiot. Guy 2: This is unfortunately the communication style of a low net worth IBS guy. My best advice is to avoid people like that as much as you can if you plan to keep your sanity. Some people can't imagine living without trying to overcompensate in every area of life.

The worst thing that could ever happen to a high school student. By the time you reach your second year you will have wished to be labeled as the kid with crabs at an American high school.
It results with long hours spent on learning how to bullshit your way through almost everything thats directed at you. Procrastination is also one of the key elements of IB. They deliberately ask questions which make 2+2 look complicated. By the time you're in your second year, waiting for the MOCKS, all you'll want to do is stick your head into a meat grinder.
It includes a philosophy course called Theory of Knowledge in which you're meant to show interest in the life thats been taken away from you. You also have to produce an Extended Essay of 4000 words and no matter how enjoyable your topic seems it makes you prefer having sexual intercourse with a British woman aged 60+ instead of continuing your life as an IB student. These two aspects make it more difficult when compared to A levels which is the British equivalent where they leave you some breathing space.
There is no such thing as a sane IB student or teacher. In the year of my graduation, one teacher was kicked out for being a pedophile, one teacher turned out to have a blog where she talked about her obsession with a physics teacher who is engaged, she dissed half the faculty, talked about her twitch reliever and reflected on her craving for mad sex.
The IB will not secure you a place in every university.
Instead...
It will teach you how to procrastinate.
It will teach you the true meaning of loneliness.
It will attempt to turn you into a liar, cheater and whore by making you an ambitious wanker resulting with you losing all the friends you've ever had.
It will cheat you into taking Math Studies which in not actually math and you end up turning your mathematical brain into mashed potatoes.
It will cheat you into taking a higher level science which you should not do unless you intend to become a specialist in the field of toenail fungus.

International Baccalaureate, an enriched High School program that's so special that it's the same all over the world so if you plan to do highschool in several different countries a year it's easy to adjust. It's special because you have no choice in what classes you take so the schools don't have to worry about finding teachers for electives, you have to do 120 hours of community service and the PROGRAM OWNS YOUR SOUL. To top it off, in addition to the super stressful courses you get to hand in an essay at the end of the year that's the culmination of four years of research and blood and sweat and if you don't do well on it YOU FAIL AND YOUR LIFE WILL WASTE AWAY TO NOTHING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO HIGHSCHOOL AGAIN SINCE THEY SUCKED OUT YOUR SOUL.
John must be pretty smart, he's in IB.
Vaughn Road Academy's pretty hard to get into, it's IB.
IB really takes alot of work.
