What do you say in English the underline sentence?

I don't want to get a bad name, you know, the student who's always running to the professor when something's wrong.

Thank you for your reply.

"Teacher's pet" may be what you are looking for. Or "tattletale." I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Thank you for your reply.

A bad name means that if someone does something that another person, or a group of people, does not like, the person who does this thing is noted for doing that act. For example, if I call the police every time my neighbors have a party, I would get a bad name among my neighbors. If you tell your supervisor every thing that your fellow workers are saying about the company, you will get a bad name among you fellow workers - you will be called, and known as, a tattle-tale or a company pet.

A bad name is a bad reputation.
