(Scroll down for video) A teen is angry after her school used her bikini photo without her permission.
Now, the teen is seeking $2 million in compensation from the school, according to a lawsuit filed in court in Georgia.
The North Georgia teen said that she sues her school district for using a photo of her wearing a bikini at a seminar on Internet security as an example of what not to do on the Internet.
The image of her went viral on the internet, and she wants $2 million after the school district used her Facebook bikini photo, but Chelsea Chaney claims that it is not he about money.
"It was my last year in seminary and we tried to resolve it. My family requested a meeting and they ignored us," Chaney said.
Chaney said the Fayette County Schools somehow had access to her private Facebook page, where she posted a picture posing with a cut out of rapper Snoop Dogg.
The next day, a friend sent her a message that the school used the photo in an Internet safety seminar.
"The photo was taken, used unfairly, inadequately and incorrectly implying that Chelsea is a promiscuous abuser of alcohol," the teen’s lawyer said.
Chaney said the controversy is causing her a lot of pain and shame.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
