If you do not ask you do not learn. Ask away.

You really do know the answer to this question. If you don't ask the questions then you will just hurt yourself. If you don't feel comfortable asking as many questions in class then just write them all down and don't feel shy to corner the teacher afterwords. Most teachers will be happy to help an enthusiastic student. They generally want their students to do well.
Also, if your friends are trying to make you feel bad about asking questions then don't worry too much. Within a few years (which is a short time in the grand scheme of things) all of your friends and yourself would have graduated and moved on to bigger and better things. They may be the center of the world now but in a few years time you will have forgotten most of their names and never expect to speak with them again. It is life. On the other hand if you end up not doing very well because you were scared of asking questions, that may haunt you for a long time.

First of all, being an "inquirer" is really a good thing (a la Socrates). Believe it or not, Socrates was once considered an idiot because he asked too many questions (which made people vexed).
What you should do is:
One, do not ask questions just for the sake of asking questions. If you really know the answer or can find out EASILY by yourself (i.e. Internet, book), don't bother asking. It will only disrupt class.
Second, ask the teacher/professor AFTER class. The moment class ends, approach the teacher/professor and ask away to your heart's content. If you really have a lot of questions, try approaching your educator in the faculty room.
Third, don't be a real show-off. People hate show-offs. If you have to ask a questions, make sure that it is for the benefit of the whole group or class; not for yourself alone.
Hope this helps a little.

Good for you! 'If you don't ask, you don't get'. I taught my daughter the same thing, ie. if you don't understand something then ask. Sometimes in a class situation it is difficult to comunicate with your teacher. My 9 year old had her own idea. In a maths lesson she did not fully understand the lesson...so when the class left for morning tea she asked the teacher to explain it to her again, which he was happy to do. She got an 'A' in maths. So I guess my advice is, try and get as much out of class as you can, make notes on the things you don't fully understand and ask the teacher for extra help outside class time. Might only take 10mins to ask your question and understand it. Keep on asking, maybe just pick your times to do it. :)

A thousand times no, never stop asking questions, or be discouraged to question what is being taught.
The only dumb question is the one you have not asked.
If someone tells you it is irritating it is often because they may not be able to answer you, and by asking questions you are challenging their thinking; and not everyone may be comfortable with that; including some of the teachers.

No - you keep asking as long it is something that you genuinely don't understand. If you feel that perhaps you are drawing too much attention by always asking questions - you can always stay behind at the end of the lesson and ask the teacher one to one - most teachers appreciate students asking sensible questions because too many keep quiet and then struggle.

you should keep asking if your not sure. You can ask in class or after the class if you think you are too demanding for your peers. They just dont like a smarty pants!
If you think you are too talkative then do a quick count of the number of times others talk and ask questions. Remember it is your learning that is important. If the teacher is not clear then you NEED to ask!

Yes, other students are always jealous so they will blame you.
But try to ask only valid questions thus you can avoid unnecessary questions. If you ask good questions, later on pupil will accept you.
And don't think that the class room is the place to clear all your doubts. Some doubts could be cleared later by self study.

Ask away. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. 9 out of 10 times someone else is wondering the same thing, but they are afraid to ask.

Hello:
It depends. If you are really asking to find out more then it is your job to ask.
If you are asking to show how much you know, then your classmates are right to get mad at you after awhile. Also knock it off.
How is it possible to tell the difference, well you just know.
I hope this helps.
