Answer 1

The option that is NOT a risk factor for depression and/or suicide is:

Being sad for a while after your friend moves away.

While feeling sad in response to a significant life change, like a friend moving away, is a normal emotional reaction, it does not constitute a risk factor for depression or suicide in the same way that the other options do.
