I teach 8th grade sex ed. what you’re describing is totally appropriate boundary pushing. They’re trying it on for size. Check in with your kid so they know you’re there if they have questions.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

OK, thanks. I couldn’t decide if I’m too chill or the other parents are too uptight.
ETA: I’m planning to address it, I just want to make sure I’m articulating the right message about why we’re having this conversation/what they should do differently.
1) Normal, 2) I would really really really press the issue that nothing shared on the internet/texting is ever private. This message can never be understated to (pre)teens.
