Today my car was acting funny.I went to store just fine when it was time to go home it wouldnt start.I ask my friend for a jump and it started right up. On my way it started bogging out as if it wanted to die out again. As I made it home it just gave out and it wouldnt start the battery was dead again.

Charge the battery at a slow rate for an hour. That will allow you to start and drive the car to a shop to have the charging system tested. You can also do some basic testing if you have a digital voltmeter. Measure the battery voltage with the engine off and with it running, and holler back with those numbers.
