Help Help with my battery?

When I plug my Galaxy S3 in, it charges very little. In fact, if I use my phone while it's plugged in, the charge will still drain. My phone has died while plugged in and charging before. Help me fix it?

In the pictures, my phone was charging. But it still drained battery and I'm very angry.

Not a very techy fix like the other comments suggested, but my recommendation would be to use battery doctor, when you have your phone plugged in and it shows the charging wallpaper it'll charge in no time, only issue would be that your phone has to be on and screen has to be idle or closed, but again this is just my own opinion on it.
