A young teenager has spoken about the horror of inadvertently becoming an internet sex symbol after her online photo account was hacked.

Angie Varona changed schools twice because of constant bullying after lingerie and bikini photos of her spread online in 2007 - when she was just 14-years-old.

Miss Varona, now 18, had uploaded provocative photos of herself to image-sharing website Photobucket with the intention of sending them only to her then-boyfriend, ABC News reports.

It was a decision that she said 'has ruined her life'.

'When you're 14 you don't realise that the things you do really do matter at that point,' she said in an interview on ABC News' Nightline.

'No one ever thinks that, 'yeah, I'm going to take these pictures and it's going to end up all over the Internet.' You just do it for yourself.'

She was repeatedly called names and a 'porn star' at her high school after the photos spread online, from appearing in porn sites to popping up in advertisements.

A recent Google search of 'Angie Varona' drew almost 65,000 images.

There are also numerous unauthorised Facebook profiles, Twitter accounts and YouTube channels, all claiming to be Angie -- one Facebook fan page has more than 41,000 likes.

'[People were] telling me that I deserve everything that's going to come for me, that they're going to rape me when they see me because I want it and because I ask for it,' she said.

'Someone found out my address and everything ... threatening me, saying that they know where I live.'

That's a freaking 14 year old?

Jesus... what the hell are they eating these days?

AbsoluteZero · Nov 11, 2011

A sad story, but she's got nobody to blame but herself, really.

Isn't this the kind of attention millions of desperate girls/hopeful models wish for?

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Nov 11, 2011

Hormone injections. Foods/kids these days....

samus i am · Nov 11, 2011

I'm proud to say I have no idea who she is.

spindashing · Nov 11, 2011

I've seen the pictures myself before but this:

I remember seeing her photos in ads too. It's pretty scary once you think about it, but she shouldn't have done what she did I guess.

Poyunch · Nov 11, 2011

Wow didn't know that all her pictures were leaked.

Ferrio · Nov 11, 2011

Girl who doesn't want to be googled featured in story about people googling her. Geez what could go wrong?

Zoramon089 · Nov 11, 2011

I like how the article put basically all her pictures there, almost as if encouraging people to google her...

TommyT · Nov 11, 2011

There are quite a few places that deal with this kind of thing. Specifically going around hacking photobucket accounts to get at teen pictures. It even goes so far to know the image naming conventions PER CAMERA MODEL. By knowing this, you can prod your way around and (used to?) be able to find pictures marked as private. Anyway, the information is out there and this turned into quite a big business. As mentioned in the article, these pictures end up in ads and whatnot and are often of underage girls. Lots of times they will have photoshopped certain substances on them...

Other than that though... Stop posting pictures of yourself like this online ffs.

AbsoluteZero has nobody but himself to blame really.

If he were more intelligent or studious, he wouldn't be so prone to making such blithe statements.

Speak for yourself.

ReBurn · Nov 11, 2011

Man, don't put anything personal in a photobucket. Brings back memories of Fusker. Do any of those still exist?

Joel Was Right · Nov 11, 2011

I thought you had to be 18 to get breast augmentation

Nizz · Nov 11, 2011

I swear, 14 year old girls didn't look like that when I was 14...

MetalAlien · Nov 11, 2011

That's that tifa girl right? She was in costume? She was really 14? Breast implants or freak of nature?

thekad · Nov 11, 2011

14? Christ, just lock me away now.

You must have had a boring junior high/middle school. I recall a few girls being pretty stacked back then. And that was over 15 years ago.

TheKaeptain · Nov 11, 2011

She must have the most amazing Genes ever. She looked like that at 14?

Without parental consent I'd imagine.

Not just the 'stacked' part though. How much they display themselves has changed quite a bit.

This right here.

edit: also, would. Now, you know, that she's 18.

I'm not so sure about the requirements, but this does remind me of actor Doug Anthony Hutchinson's wife who happens to be 16. *Shudder.*

They show her in tears.

Then they show thumbnails of the photos.

It's hilarious.

I must have missed the part where she was trying to shift the blame onto someone else.

I think you have to be 16 or 17 with consent.

I guess you can say she was ahead of her time.

oh yeah...... but this looks diffferent somehow.

MetalAlien · Nov 11, 2011

Jesus Christ, there is NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL I'd buy my little girl a bikini if she was stacked like that. T-shirts at the swimming pool until you move out of the house.

Plasmid · Nov 11, 2011

This is like YouTube and 4chans annie Keenan crusade of 20 ought 7.

TheLastCandle · Nov 11, 2011

Jesus, that certainly doesn't look like any of the girls I knew as a freshman in high school.

I feel bad for her, though.

It mentions that she turned to drugs and her skin looks kind of aged a bit. Thats really sad.

Google'ing brings up results of varying sizes.

puns aside:

Although the FDA approved silicone gel breast implants only for women ages 21 and older, and saline breast implants only for women 18 and older, there are no legal restrictions on the procedure. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has an official position against breast augmentation for most teens under 18, but there is no enforcement. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons has no official position regarding augmentation for teenagers.

I have a 6 month old daughter. When I go to the mall and see how 14-15 year olds are dressing, I weep. How will kids be dressing 15 years from now???

Exactly. There's a whole lot of victim blaming going in this thread....

Don't get me wrong, there were pretty girls then too. It's probably more to do with how younger girls dress nowadays too.
