Desperately Seeking Validation

I am angry.  I'm actually quite miffed. I'm hurt and I have no idea how to go about fixing this situation.

My daughter.  Is being.......picked on at school by another young lady.  I hate it. I have tried to teach my girls that their validation doesn't come from Facebook, Instagram, todays pop music icons or even television - it is God and God alone that let's us know exactly who we are in him.

But it is hard to believe what God says when you have young girls telling you to your face that you are ugly and they hate you because you are black.  Never thought my girls would have to deal with that like I did. But they do.  So how do I combat this?  How do I show my girls how to believe in their own beauty and where it comes from?

I try to keep them off social media.  I try to limit what they watch but like any parent, I can't police everything.
