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.

I wouldn't use it in formal conversation. It's not bad per se but it's something that has a negative connotation and you usually look for kinder language in that setting.
