Blaming the media at an early age.....(miss representation)

In the movie Miss Representation they focused in the beginning on girls at a young age and having labels placed on what is right and what is wrong all because of the media. In ways i can understand when girls are in high school and they have to wear certain clothes and look a certain way for the boys to get their attention because of what the media shows and says what to wear and what not to wear. My main question when it comes to something like this is "Where are the parents? Why haven't they been a certain influence to help these teenagers know right from wrong?" It bothers me that the parents are the ones doing the blaming cause their daughter wants to do what pop stars do or their favorite celebrity dresses a certain way.

Main instance is Beauty Pageants at a young age Mothers dress their daughters for the Pageants and strut them around like little dolls. Media then gets a hold of this and exploits it teaching young girls you must do these and you must look like this. Now they have these tv shows that shows all these and at the end of the day Media gets the bad end of the stick and the blame for these things but really there are times that finger should blame someone else.

In the end can we really blame Media for everything....or can we actually take responsibility in our own actions. Everyone is different and every opinion is different.
