I am 17 years old and got all four of my impacted wisdom teeth taken out this past Wednesday, January 9th. It is now January 12th and my cheeks are still horridly puffy. I was instructed to keep ice on my cheeks for as long as possible, but my left cheek has not shown any sign of going down. Opening my mouth is still difficult. I take both my pain and antibiotic meds on time, without fail. My right cheek is normal looking but I'm really starting to worry about my left cheek. The swelling seems to have worsened. I start school Monday and don't know what to do. Should I quit icing it? Thanks!

I'm saving up for a new guitar and am torn between the two. I've always wanted a black guitar, but the sunburst has a neck similar to my Squire strat which is awesome! I don't want to make a decision soley based on aesthetics, but I also don't want to spend too much on something than it's worth. They're both beautiful and I'm not sure which way to go, can you guys help me out? Thanks!

Oh and I'm primarily a rhythm player, but am trying to make my way into lead. If that helps.

I've been playing guitar a little over 8 years now, started when i was about 8. I own a fender acoustic and a squire strat, both of which I LOVE. However, my present circumstances call for the ownership of an acoustic-electric. I've found one that I'm completely in love with, but would like some opinions from fellow musicians out there.

Keep in mind I am a girl, with small hands, and will be mostly playing rhythm guitar for a local worship band. Thanks so much guys! Any input at all will be so appreciated!

I was with a guy on and off for two years. We ended badly. His mother basically forbade him from spending time with me and did not acknowledge out relationship. Keep in mind he was already 18. I'm 16 and let my parents know what was going on and received their blessing. He didn't. I waited a full year before he even had the guts to talk to my parents about us (which he promised relentlessly that he'd do) He promised to be more open and communicate to avoid **** from happening. Basically, things got rough and he became a different person. No longer sweet or loving or fun. But cold, impatient and stagnant...he doesn't take initiative of his life and grow. He broke it off saying "he's nothing but a bunch of let downs and disappointments for me" and I was absolutely furious. I had given all I could and here, this butthole just gives up. In short I made an *** of myself. I chewed him out, came back to apologize and work it out but was "too late". We still decided to go to a dance we'd already planned for but he bailed last minute. I see him one final time and don't let him hug me, but try to end on a good note. He then proceeded ignored me then was rude-__- Whatever. I found out he took an ex friend of mine (who admitted to liking him and would always tell me to leave and seek "better") to her prom. Naturally, I was pissed. And that's just it. I lost my first love, a whole future and a family. It's been almost 4 months and I can't stand it. I'm happier now than in our relationship for the most part. He was moody and bitchy and brought me down so badly. But sometimes I miss him like crazy. I want to see him, but I know how much that'd hurt. I've cut all communication and he's obviously just fine without me, the supposed "love of his life" and all that. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how can I fix me? I don't want anything to do with him anymore, or ever. He was pretty terrible. But I feel guilty for hurting him like he said, and not waiting and putting up with his bull or being content with the crumbs he gave me.

thank you for reading. And possibly considering an answer. It's much appreciated!<

Earlier this year, I suffered a really terrible breakup with a guy I'd been with for almost 2 years. It sucked; he stopped trying and treating me right and has since moved on.

I've lost many friends and family because of the split. But those that have remained have been the best, most supportive friends and relatives ever! <3

This Thursday, I realized that I've been developing feelings for this super sweet guy in my class. He's shy, awkward, and super smart. Taller than me, and really nice :) According to his friend, he likes me too. (Yay!) We went out to lunch yesterday, (Friday) and I think it went well. But we were really teased as we left campus. He's never had a girlfriend so all his football buddies were giving us the eye, and my girls were making a big ol' deal. We had fun but haven't spoken since, and I'm not worried about it.

I'm just concerned that I may be putting too much hope on this guy and me developing into something. I don't want it to be because I've been hurt and am lonely, but because we're compatible and have fun with each other.

It's been 3 months since my split; do you guys think I'm rushing it? Am I getting my hopes up too high?

Thank in advance :)
