'Real' or 'fr' (= 'for real') is used as emphatic agreement: someone says something, you reply 'real' to mean 'true, I agree'. It is short for 'that's real' or 'for real'. If your teen replies 'real' to a friend's message, they are firmly agreeing. Harmless and conversational.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
