I went out last night n came back to my car n started it up then it died, the alarm kept goin off when I pulled the key out of the ignition, so got an AA man out n he jumped it, so got me home, but it dies when ever it's turned off and needs to be jumped?
It's it just the battery's fucked or something else...Alternator maybe??

Could be battery or alternator.
Get one of those current tester things and put it on the battery to see if there is current going into the battery. If there is, the battery's fucked. If there isn't the alternator is fucked.
