I came home from school to find One of my Oscars stuck to the filter intake tube.
It was to weak to swim agent its current.
All its color is gone and there a bite out of him.
I don't think he is going to make it. Is there anything i can do?

The picture is very blurred and i cant see much.

I have seen fish stuck to the the filter intake before. It usually means the fish is very weak from either injury or illness. Either way i would separate the fish from the others (either to another tank or with a divider) and hope he will get better. It looks like your oscar has some damaged to its skin so add some treatment for treating body sores etc to help him. I have to say that it sounds like your oscar is in a bad way and i would prepare yourself for the worse. Saying that dont give, fish can sometimes recover when you think all hope is lost
I can't get no sleep

I think you could be right. He may be ill and is very weak. The suction may well be strong enough to get the better of a very small or sick fish. To be honest, I couldn't possibly tell you whether your fish is going to survive. It looks very young, I suppose you could say it is in the lap of the gods

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

I put the Oscar in another tank but sadly it still died.

All my Oscars are young and the one that just died was growing at a much slower rate than the others.
