You most certainly have the right to file a criminal complaint against who ever is doing this. If you happen to be under 18 they are guilty of distributing child pornography. A felony in all 50 states, most countries of the world and a federal crime as well because of the use of the internet.
It matters not whether they are an adult or a juvenile themselves they can and will be prosecuted for the distribution of child pornography. Several juveniles in several states in the past year have found this out the hard way as they are now in jail until they are 21 for doing so.
For those juveniles engaged in such action they may feel it is nothing more than a prank and being a juvenile themselves will protect them. In the eyes of the law it is not a prank and their age does not protect them.
From what you have written you may also have a charge of blackmail against this person if they said send more pictures or I will send what I have to your friends or words to that effect.
Your options here are to file a police report or to threaten to file a police report if this person does distribute your picture or to file a police report if they have distributed the picture. My advice is to tell your parents if you are under 18 and to file a police report and let the police handle it.

You certainly have a civil claim against them and potentially a criminal claim. Civilly, you would have claims of rights of publicity/privacy and multiple common law claims. Additionally, if they were attempting to blackmail you for more photos, this could be extortion and you should consider making a police report. It's not OK and you should not be exploited in this way.
