In a recent documentary by Yle, the Finnish artist Olga reflects on her journey and the lasting impact of hate comments she has received throughout her career. Despite her confident public appearance, Olga reveals how the shadows of her teenage years continue to haunt her. Originally from Tornio, she describes herself as the loudest and perhaps the most annoying girl in her town, where she learned to dream big despite the small-town limitations.

At the age of 16, Olga's life took a significant turn when she expressed her desire to study at the Kallio School of the Arts in Helsinki. However, her parents were reluctant to let her live away from home, leading the entire family to relocate to the capital. While initially hoping for a bright future in the arts, Olga faced many challenges during her high school years. Instead of quickly rising to fame, she struggled with feelings of inadequacy, describing herself simply as "a regular girl from Tornio."

The mental health implications of her experience are deeply concerning; she talks candidly about her struggles with panic attacks, depression, and eating disorders that arose during this time. These challenges were compounded by extreme self-loathing and criticism, leading to significant anxiety about her public appearances. Olga's story not only highlights the personal impact of online hate but also emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness in the spotlight of fame, illustrating how mental health struggles are often intertwined with the pressures of public life.
