Not in my experience. I’ve pieced some things together, but unless I directly asked or it was relevant like medical history, my parents don’t really talk about their childhoods.

Usually not, maybe later, shame and whatnot (substitute drug use for a realistic comparison). ETA I did tell (feel free to guess what, you're probably wrong) when my kid hit the twenties, and gave relevant hints along the way so it wasn't a surprise, which were not delved into by kiddo by their choice. But it's a personal choice (medical issues aside) and extremely personal in it's implementation and down to cases. This is personal morals, not societal ethics. Back off (not OP, reasonable query, just everyone, not your business and it shouldn't be, unless there's harm, sensitive stuff that takes careful handling, this is one of the reasons why privacy should be a right). Many will make mistakes here, and that's OK if done in good faith. time will heal. If you're a bigoted ahole (either generation) maybe less so, but even that can happen, give it a chance.

They may learn stuff about drugs somewhere, its not usually in the classroom. Better to have a conversation about it in the house and give your child the information to have a better understanding. At least that's my opinion.

My brother in law didn’t tell his little brother that he’s trans and he was too young (and autistic) to remember him as a girl. He was told a couple months ago because he’s older now they still have old family photos around the house and he never connected the dots that a girl just disappeared and a man appeared in its place lol
