The shocking advice, featured in an article entitled 'Ten Charm Rules', was published in the glossy magazine's supplement, Teen Tatler.
It advises teenagers to buy presents and 'flirt gently' with their friends' parents if they wish to be invited to 'swanky' holidays, dinners and country weekends.
The article, red flagged by Twitter user Poppy Dinsey, claims that the "big secret to getting on in life" is to make other people's parents like you.

It adds: "At some point take half an hour out to flirt (gently) with the parent of the opposite sex and then write a witty thank-you letter — bingo, you're a winner.
"Soon, word will get out and you'll be invited everywhere — dinners, more country weekends, swanky holidays and so on, and so on…
"Think of it as essential homework for life. Hone your social-seduction techniques now and those same tools will serve you handsomely for ever."

Disgusted Poppy photographed the advice column and posted it to Twitter, writing: "Teen Tatler basically saying 'flirt with dads to get free holidays'"
And Poppy wasn't the only one to be dismayed by the advice; plenty were outraged that the magazine, aimed at teens as young as 13, was encouraging children to flirt with older men in exchange for gifts.
A Tatler spokesman told the press: "If the Tatler feature is read in its entirety it is clear that we intended it to be light-hearted.
"We're sorry if the content has been taken out of context and apologise for any offence caused."
