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.

Maybe crap has different cultural connotations where I'm from because it's definitely not a slightly less vulgar version of shit. It's extremely less vulgar. Or maybe you need to go ask that English teacher what the definition of slightly is.

Are you from the UK? Because this is a UK thread.
