I would have a hard time telling an impressionable young person that it's their fault, though certainly buying any product through an advertisement encourages further advertisement.

In an ideal world we would all have the mental fortitude to dismiss such things but who hasn't had a moment where they felt inferior to others, especially at a young age?
