A teenager says she has been left 'depressed and suicidal' after her classmates flaunted naked pictures of his mum from her OnlyFans account.

The 13-year-old says he had no idea his mother was on the provocative social media site and suffered a panic attack when youngsters from his school began mocking him and shared naked pictures of his mum.

The teenager says he confronted his mother about the Only Fans account and was told he was overreacting - with his mum even insisted that sex work is "basically the same" as working in a supermarket.

The 13-year-old says he had no idea his mother was on the provocative social media site and suffered a panic attack when youngsters from his school began mocking him and shared naked pictures of his mum.

Posting to Reddit the troubled teen said: "I'm 13 and my mom is 33. Things at school were never great. I'm sorta short so I get picked on some but it was manageable.

"That was, until one of my classmates showed me a picture of my mom naked. I almost had a panic attack and had to be excused from the classroom. I ended up not showing up to school for a few days(faking sick). I was hoping that things would cool off but they didn't.

"As soon as I got to school almost everyone in my class was staring and laughing at me. This has been going on for about a week now."

The teenager says the bullying is gradually getting worse and now lots of students had nude images of his mum which they are sharing, after his mother shared a link to her OnlyFans on her personal Twitter page.

He continued: "I was wondering how my classmates even got the pictures and apparently my mom advertises her onlyfans on her personal Twitter account.

The 13-year-old says he had no idea his mother was on the provocative social media site and suffered a panic attack when youngsters from his school began mocking him and shared naked pictures of his mum.

"Some students from my school follow her so they were able to see the nudes and they have been spread everywhere. I don't even have a Twitter so I didn't know about any of this.

"The worst part is when I confronted my mom about this she told me that I was overreacting and that sex work is basically the same as working at a bank or a grocery store.

"She also said it makes her feel good about herself and that I should be happy that she's more confident now.

"I told the principal but they can't suspend thousands of students or take anyone's phones. I've been crying in my room everyday for the past week. I don't think I can take it anymore."

Reddit users commented in their thousands on the child's post, with some offering support and sympathy.

One said: "Man, I feel for you. Stay strong tho, trust me there's so much more to life. It’s ups and down, just remember that it will get better."

Another said: "Stay strong man ur gonna grow up and u r gonna make it on your own."
