Played ok, or wasted money?

Folded to me in on the button so I decided to steal raise, is J8s a stealing hand? or should I not have even bothered

also when a couple high cards come on the flop I took 1 more shot at it, was that ok? or should I just give it up?

I like the preflop raise in late position, the bet was ok, personally I woulda like to see a free card cause I would have had been thinking straight. But you played it as a semi bluff, it was ok.

I would play it the same way. And yes J8s is a steal hand.
