Answer to Question 1

(1) Having friends who exercise increases the likelihood of movement-related
activities.
(2) Living in communities that support activity such as those that have walking and
bike paths, parks, fields, and gyms invite people to use them.

Answer to Question 2

Depression is debilitating because it undercuts achievements such as higher
education, vocational choices, and romantic commitments that normally occur
between ages 18 and 25; it also makes the rest of adulthood more difficult. Often
young adults distance themselves from others, feeling alone and believing that
nothing will help.
