Is it weird to ask a professor

I feel like you usually don't get that kind of relationship with university teachers. Like, I never talk to my teachers in the kind of way I could do with some of my high school teachers. Which means that it would seem pretty weird for me at least to ask someone to do that, even if it's a teacher I've had in several modules.
The issue is that I have to if I'm going to apply for a scholarship. I doubt asking my junior high teacher would qualify. Although I'd much prefer to ask him as I met him 2 years ago to talk about something so it's like.. oof I don't think stuff from back then counts at all when applying on MA level 
Yeah, I get that. I'm just trying to think of a teacher I could ask to do that for me, and I really can't think of any. Or I can, but like, it would be incredibly awkward. If I could ask two high school teachers on the other hand, it would be very easy.
I don't have a relationship to any of my professors. I've mailed one of them regarding something and uhhhh.. taken some of his subjects every semester so I'm asking him but .. there are no others.

i mean, ive thought of this before, like if im in need of a letter of recommendation who would i ask, and these are the profs i landed on and why:
- my bachelor thesis supervisor: cus ofc, he knows me, he knows my work
- a prof from a class i took where the class was small, i was vocal in class, i had a presentation
- one of my high school teachers; had him in politics and human rights, talked to him in the later years, he knows my bachelor is in political science, he's invited me to back to talk to his current students abt political degrees 

if that helps in any way

okay but my bachelor thesis supervisor will be the first person i ask because i've had him all my semesters at UiO and I know that he knows (ish) who I am and my work. 
then.. the issue is i was vocal in one class but yIKES THE GRADE on my exam!! so i can't ask him 
and i don't think i could ask anyone below university level?? or can i??

it just says teachers, so yes you can, id guess its better to have a long and detailed lor from a teacher that really knows you, your personality, your goals, your hard-working ability/will, etc, than a prof that doesnt really know you and can only speak on the behalf of ur grades and not you

so if I ask my ungdomsskolelærer and my bachelor thesis professor (hopefully he gets to know me more this spring) it should be good enough right??

Okay, so if the other grade this semester doesn't go to hell and a B average is still in sight I'll ask my ungdomsskolelærer early in January and I can ask the uni professor some time later in January or in February. : s
