Welcome guys! Firstly I would like to say thank you for visiting my blog. You maybe asking why I called this blog "newgenerationmisocc", well guess why? The new generation roughly called as "generation X" has so much to say and contribute about the things that happened in our community. I think one way of starting to do these obligations is to talk about. Here we will talk about social problems especially on problems affecting the young generation like drugs, violence, crimes; family issues and concerns; religious matters; political issues and other topics under the heat of the sun that you would like to talk about. Once again, thank you so much and let's start blogging.
