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.

Nah, you're just gonna get pegged as someone with little language skills who has a bad attitude. It's one thing if you don't care but calling everything crap at work, especially if you have customers or a partner in the room absolutely makes a poor impression. You should really use it in a professional setting only when you've thought through the impact.
