Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

I am a high school student and I recorded a video of myself doing a magic trick when I was 10 years old and uploaded it to YouTube. I had long forgotten about this video until 2 of my fellow students decided to play it on the morning announcements that the entire school views. Because of that I am getting made fun of and bullied. I have questioned the teacher that oversees these video announcements and she said that she assumed the students had got my consent, which they never did. What legal action can I take on this? I am very upset from the torment I have been taking and need something to be done soon.

Thanks for your time.

If the video was public there's not a lot you can do. You made it public by choice. There's no privacy protections on content you upload for the world to see. Anything you could do with the school is probably just going to make the tormenting worse.
