Kelly Osbourne gets shitfaced, photographed and video’d

Poor Kelly Osbourne was photographed last night ripped off her tits, stumbling out of London nightclub Mahiki (great name!). The 24 year old had to hold on to a brick wall to keep herself upright and had to be helped into a cab. She is no stranger to intoxication. In 2004 she was admitted to Promises rehab centre in Malibu for addiction to painkillers. A year later she checked into another facility after a relapse. Good thing she presents a teen advice show on Radio One. Whose better qualified? Tragically you can even watch a video of her drunk here. In other news: It’s been a busy week for rock star kids on the skids. Yesterday footage emerged of 19 year old Peaches Geldof doing a £190 drug deal. What is it with rock star kids and drugs? Psychologists say if you have a family history of addiction there’s roughly a 50% probability that you will have inherited that potential for addiction. Read more after the jump.

The Partnership for a Drug Free America say this on youthful addiction:

Essentially all patients who require inpatient treatment for chemical dependencies have a trauma history. And by trauma, I mean inter-personal trauma, experiences of powerlessness, and so those people are more dependent on nurturance, love and safety. This would include sexual abuse, physical abuse, abandonment and neglect. Trauma tends to interrupt the normal progression of psychological and self-development. As a result, young people enter adolescence with deficiencies in the inability to regulate their feeling states — something in my world we call “affect regulation.” It’s not so much that they feel more depression or anxiety than other 13 year olds do, what is important is that the intensity and duration of all feeling states cannot be regulated. The feelings are too intense, too long, too protracted and overwhelming. And if so, the individual who does not have adequate capacity to regulate tends to feel deficient and unworthy from the trauma itself and this makes the individual feel unworthy of the love and nurturing that children so desperately need, resulting in profound low self-esteem.
