First off, I'd warn your parents about your grades, so they won't be surprised.
Then, talk to your advisor, to find out what the school will do to you if you fail all your classes. Some schools will put you on academic probation.
Talk to your teachers, if you are really failing them, miserably, with no hope of passing, find out about taking a withdraw passing. You basically lose a semesters worth of work, but it saves your GPA.

If there are classes that a good grade on the final will help you pass, talk to the professor about a tutor, or getting extra help.

Look into summer session classes to replace some of the classes you are failing.

the first year of college is tough for a lot of people, it's a huge learning experience, learn something from this. You can fix your study habits,

Like LPM said, Don't Give Up... If you give up, you can't fix it...
