Re: fuck

I think it would be okay if it is a quote. I wrote "asshole" in my essay before, and I didn't see the teacher complain.

Re: fuck

Talk to your teacher I guess. I'd strongly avoid using it.
It'll depend on your marker. Some won't mind, others might...

Re: fuck

In my prescribed text for AOS the main character gets raped. Would it be awkward/frowned upon to discuss this in an essay?
