Car alarm problems, Baffled

I can't seem to figure out what to do. I can jump my car but the second I stop and turn it off, it completely shuts off and the alarm begins. It just goes and goes until the battery is dead... Things I've tried: - Valet switch...doesn't even seem to work correctly anymore - Keyless remote...won't shut the alarm off anymore - Starting car...the ignition is cut by the alarm going off I haven't replaced my remote battery or my car's battery...those two are coming next. But really my only idea is to completely cut the power to the alarm all together....how can I do that???? Any other ideas??? Thanks everyone!

So you can jump-start the car meaning you can start it with a key and jumper cables hooked up to the car's battery? And when you turn off the car, the alarm siren goes off until the battery dies?

What if you drive the car for a while and let the alternator charge the battery...then if you turn off the car and try to start it 15 seconds later or so, will it start?

Yes and yes to the first questions. If I drive around to let the alternator charge, it dies right after I turn things off. I also had the radio and other electronics shut off during driving after it was started too, then they came back on after about 5 seconds and when the radio came back, the CD, clock and settings were exactly where they were before things shut off.......
