A FIFTEEN-year-old girl was reduced to tears when teachers used a bikini picture she posted on Facebook in her school assembly.

The assembly at Eggbuckland Community College in the city of Plymouth on England's south coast, was called to show the potential dangers of social networking.

Teachers copied images of pupils available on the internet to try to illustrate the dangers of posting private images online.

The teenage girl's Facebook image of her in a bikini was blown up and shown to the 100 pupils.

The girl was then pointed out by a teacher. Other pictures shown were from the neck up.

The girl's mother, who complained to the school principal and the UK education watchdog Ofsted, said her daughter was "really upset and hurt" and the incident "has knocked her confidence".

"She's a tomboy, she doesn't wear make-up and she doesn't even have her ears pierced. It's not often you even get her in a bikini," said the mother.

"The head teacher has since phoned me and couldn't me more apologetic. I don't think she was aware it was going to happen."

COMMENT BELOW: Was the school OK to use the image to illustrate online dangers?

The school said in a statement on its website:

"In a House assembly last week on the topic of 'Online Safety', students were shown a PowerPoint including a short video about the potential dangers of which they need to be aware. "One of the images in the presentation was of an Eggbuckland student wearing shorts and a bikini top. The member of staff leading the assembly had accessed the picture simply by Googling the names of some of our students. She wanted to illustrate how freely available such images are, through the internet.

"We are really sorry for the way in which this important message was delivered. This was an error of judgment: the member of staff had not intended to cause any embarrassment."
