My friend is a junior dating a freshman, is this weird or am I overreacting?

Tldr: my friend is 16 almost 17 and is a junior in high school, her boyfriend is 14 going on 15 next year and a freshman, I think its weird but my other friends don't and I want to know if im overreacting

Hi so im a junior in high school. I've been friends with my friend, lets call her E ig, since sophomore year. I'm not judging her for it but she has a new boyfriend every few months and im pretty sure she's been sexually active with all of them. She also usually goes for older guys (like 20 or older) but i don't know if that's relevant. She's a junior like me and is 16 almost 17.

There's a freshman in her carpentry class and she started dating him last month. He's 14 and I don't think he's going to be 15 until sometime next year. They show a lot of PDA and I'm pretty sure that they've been getting freaky together.

I think this is really weird and teetering on predator behavior. I've been trying to give E the benefit of the doubt because I know she's been a victim before and I didn't think she'd ever end up being a perpetrator like this. Everytime I bring up how I think its weird, she gets mad at me. None of our other friends except for maybe one think it's weird. Am I overreacting by thinking that it's weird and kind of creepy?

I am currently realizing that I've been abused and I don't know how to process it

Things are slightly more complicated than the title, but that's the gist. Hi I'm a 16 year old girl (16f? I have horrible redditquette) I know I've been abused in my life, even before I can remember. I was SA'ed in elementary school and I have been living in a neglectful hoarder house with my grandmother most of my life. She's been my one and only support my whole life, and I've just now realized that it's not healthy, and she knows that. I never thought she would ever hurt me, but I've come to realize that I may be a victim of covert incest. Ever since my grandfather died, she has treated me as the secondary caregiver in the household. I was only eight when he passed away. I have been the one parenting my younger sibling and cousin. She puts all of her emotions on my shoulders, and takes it out on me when I'm upset. I also recently learned that she's been lying to me about my mother for my whole life. She told me that my mother has been a drug addict since a teenager and was violent and abusive, and that she wasn't around because she didn't want me. I learned yesterday that the truth is, my grandmother has allowed her boyfriends to abuse and molest my mother almost her entire childhood, and she was the one that didn't want my mother around me. She also lied about my mother's drug addiction, which only started after my mom got cancer, her fiance left her homeless and took her other kids, and my grandmother abandoned her at a homeless camp four years ago. My mother and stepfather are currently trying to get me back and basically rescue me, but my whole world feels like it's been flipped upside down. I don't know who to trust anymore, and I'm currently all alone because my mother and stepfather are babysitting my stepsiblings at their house. I've just been isolated to try and process all of this by myself and I don't know what to do. I'm crying my eyes out as a type this. It feels like I've lost everything, and the only reason I haven't committed is because I'm scared too.
