Steve-O, from the aptly titled MTV show “Jackass,” is on a psychiatric hold and watch in L.A. From there, he sent an e-mail to friends saying, “I did a great deal of damage to my brain” with drugs and “now that they’ve all worn off, I’m facing the consequences.” I’d concur with that, and I’d like to add that riding a tricycle off a cliff probably didn’t help.

I consider myself a great fan of Jackass both the show and the movies. But I still chuckled reading this post.
While alcohol and tobacco use are legal for Steve O and his crew, it’s a shame that so many young kids look up to them. And more so now their drug use during the show and films has become so much more apparent. No sober person would have performed half of the ridiculous acts they did.
I’ve always been a hard core fan of the whole jackass crew but recently I have found myself where steveo was at his worst and I’m not sure how to break free from it. I have no family. I’m actually trying to stay in Medical School but it is becoming very hard. I know you guys are busy so I probably won’t hear anything but if there is any way you’ll could help me or even give me some advice on where to go. I’m a 23 year old female who lost her mom to suicide and I’m sure that plays a big role. If possible please help me. I’ve asked alot of websites and none have responded at all not even with advice. I hope you get a chance to read this Steve O. I can understand the mom thing and I know it is the hardest thing someone could possibly go through. I’m sorry. Please take the time to look at this. I really think that I can beat this addiction just by hearing some words from someone who has actually been there. Because if they haven’t the sure as hell have nothing to say to me that would make my desicions easier. If some drug therapist that had no past drug addictions tried to give me advise, excuse my language but I would probably tell them to f*** off!!!
