Now how do I get it to where he only has his own friends text messages and facetime videos coming in and they are not also coming in on my iphone and my other ipad on my account?
iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi
The key to keeping messages on the device of the intended recipient - and in maintaining privacy and separation of sensitive information - is to ensure that each user has their own AppleID to use with their own device.
A fundamental usage paradigm of iOS/iPadOS is that devices are not shared - but are used by one individual.
If intending to reassign a device to a new user, you would be well advised to prepare the iPad for reuse:
What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Preparing the iPad using this process removes all data and previous settings - and the Activation Lock that sooner or later will otherwise haunt you.
Now you need to understand that iPad cannot in isolation send or receive text (i.e., SMS/MMS) messages, these being Cellular Carrier features. However, if associated with a iPhone, SMS/MMSAn iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of directly accessing Cellular Voice or Messaging features. An iPad with Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services. An iPad is not, and can never be, a standalone substitute for an iPhone.
However, If paired with an iPhone, the capabilities of iPad significantly broaden to include access to Cellular Voice and Messaging services of the associated iPhone - relayed to the iPad over WiFi using Apple’s continuity features. For the most part, an iPad using Continuity is able to access Cellular calling features, of the iPhone, when both the iPad an iPhone are in close physical proximity and are connected to the same WiFi network - but this is not the end of the story.
Now, if both your Cellular Carrier and your calling plan support WiFi Calling, your iPad can make and receive calls independently of the iPhone - even when the iPhone is switched off, elsewhere, or using a different WiFi network. Not all carriers support full WiFi calling.

When correctly configured, the iPad FaceTime App provides access to Cellular Voice Calling features - whilst Messages supports SMS/MMS messaging services.
I hope this information and clarification is helpful in resolving your immediate needs.
