I'm 18 and live in a small town up state and have been the subject of laughter and crude remarks since this happened. My girlfriend and I took her little sister to the fairgrounds in August. It was a bow festival but they had animals, the younger kids could pet. They were cooking ribs on the big charcoal pit and as we got near it I either slipped or tripped. It took a second or two to realize my shorts were on fire. I kept hitting the flame with my hand but it only got worse and was mostly on my right side. I quess I was screaming in pain and the back of my shirt also began to burn. The man cooking the ribs pushed me onto the ground then another man came over to help. I was in so much pain I don't remember to much and was in a state of panic. I'd say within a half minute these two men stripped me, ripping off my shirt, shorts and underware. I was flat on my back naked and laying in mud in front of everyone. Another man put a shirt over me to cover my penis but I was surrounded by people. An ambulance took me to the hospital and most of the 2nd degree burns were on my side and the right cheek of my ass. I was in the hospital for four days and still have scaring from it. Now the worst thing is, almost everyone I know saw me naked. Its a big joke now mostly with my friends. My girlfriend told me I was only naked for a few minutes but that doesn't help. While laying there waiting for the ambulance I remember seeing all thes people I knew. Girls and guys I went to high school with, some of their parents, neighbors and many people I never saw before. It was a mixture of young kids up to people who are my grandparents age. When I was laying there with the shirt covering me I think I was in to much pain at the time to be embarrassed about it. Once I got home from the hospital and started seeing everybody is when I was most embarrassed and still am. They would all ask if I was ok or how I felt but they all smiled when they did. My friends constantly bring it up and joke around about it. I still avoid seeing some people even my girlfriends little sister. She is only 11 and was standing there with my girlfriend the whole time.
