Again I agree, it's not even about "excusing it", you can point out that their "edgy banter" is immature and shameful and make it very clear that it won't be tolerated. I do think at that age they should get a strong warning before anything else though. Who wasn't coming out with some utterly ludicrous **** at 18.
