So, I say, we should definitely teach the youth directly. they are a lot smarter then we give them credit.

You're contradicting yourself.
We = Parents/Elders. No?
It's absurd to think that other people have to do the job that parents should be doing.
Advertising might manipulate children to a certain extent, but ultimately,
their parents are the breadwinners, and they are the ones who decide what's good for them.
If you ask me, any parent who can't say no to their kids, needs councelling.
