Failing all my classes in college, help please!?
I'm in my fifth year out of high school, and I have messed up so badly in college that I feel like I don't know what to do anymore.
My freshman year of college, I went to Cal Poly SLO and flunked all my classes. I maybe passed 12 units my freshman year.
Ever since then I've been going to community colleges on and off like Cuesta College and Foothill.
I almost have enough units to get an AA and transfer. I only need 15 more units.
However...this quarter, Winter 2013, I have been doing so badly in all my classes. I'm not dumb but I'm lazy and stubbornly won't do my classwork unless I want to for some reason. I'm taking English 1A, Math 105 and Business Law 18.
What should I do, there I 4 weeks in the quarter so I might be able to bring my grades up?

What you should do is re-evaluate whether you belong in college. You're sabotaging yourself, and no one can help you with that, except perhaps a psychiatrist, who could help you figure out why you need to do that to yourself.
Not everyone is cut out for college and there are many good-paying jobs that don't require a Bachelor's degree. There are programs at community college, occupational/vocational/technical schools, etc. that can help you develop the skills you need to do a job with your hands, rather than your brain.
To save yourself and/or your parents some money, you should take a break from college until figure out what you really want to do and/or decide that college is important to you.
Good luck!

embrace this phrase
"If it is to be, it is up to me"
You are going to have to use self-discipline & simply buckle-down & get this work done
how to do that? don't let yourself do anything else you want to do until you get it done
you want to play video games? homework/class work/study comes first
you want to go hang with friends? homework/class work/study comes first
want to watch a movie?... same answer
you want to eat some food, go grocery shopping? at least complete 1 assignment... then eat your meal.. complete another assignment & go to grocery store
How do you plan on getting through life if you don't figure out how to be self-disciplined?
Get your priorities straight & stop acting like an 8th grader (sorry, but it is the truth)
You are, apparently, at a point that you do not have any other option than to show some maturity... Man-Up & GET IT DONE
And, stop doing drugs... that will help you
