Shocking sights in schools

I have seen high schools in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, both in Guangdong province, with condom-vending machines at their gates. Though the schools are both for boys and girls, the students studying there are only 12-to-15-year olds.

The school in Guangzhou has more than 2,000 children, while the one in Shenzhen has over 1,600. I asked the school security guards about the machines but they didn't know what to say and just laughed embarrassingly.
