Is "crap" considered a bad word? (lemmy.world)

Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word "crap". I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.

Don't they toss around the word cunt like it's a core subject of every sentence in the UK? And your teacher is worried about crap? Lol.

There is a big difference between formal and casual settings.

Are you at the pub with your friends? Sure, swear until you can't swear anymore.

Are you in the workplace, around kids or having dinner with your uptight famiy? Probably smart to watch your language.
