Tá deis againn an tseachtain seo díriú isteach ar an mhaistíneacht agus Seachtain na Frithmhaistíneachta ar siúl. Is minic a phléitear an mhaistíneacht sa Tionól, agus rinne muid an tAcht um Aghaidh a Thabhairt ar an Mhaistíneacht i Scoileanna (TÉ) 2016 a chur i gcrích agus a chur chun feidhme le blianta beaga anuas. Cé go bhfuil dul chun cinn bainte amach againn, tá obair go fóill le déanamh le haird a tharraingt ar an mhaistíneacht — go háirithe an chibearmhaistíneacht — ó tharla méadú suntasach ag teacht ar líon na ndaoine a ndéantar maistíneacht orthu. Dar leis an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte go bhfuil méadú tagtha ar líon na gcibirionsaithe sna Sé Chontae, ach ní hé amháin anseo ach fud fad an domhain. Sa bhliain 2018, tuairiscíodh go ndearnadh maistíneacht ar aon duine óg as seisear. Is tráthúil go bhfuilim ag caint air seo ós rud é go bhfuil Mí Eorpach na Cibearshlándála ann an mhí seo chomh maith. Gach bliain, ceapann Anti-Bullying Alliance téama ar leith don bhliain, agus Choose Respect an téama a cheap siad i mbliana. Mar chuid den fheachtas sin, iarrann Anti-Bullying Alliance orainn dhá stoca chorra a chaitheamh ar an 12 Samhain le haird a tharraingt ar na rudaí a dhéanann daoine ar leith dínn. Tá mé ag dúil go mór le bhur stocaí corra a fheiceáil amárach.
