Answers:
It depends whats shes going though. If its personal, she may have to work it out alone. If she does share whats happening, the best advice is to go ahead and listen, annnd be positive. Very positive. When you mix hot water with cold you get warm. Try not to be negative at any point, and be comforting. If your asking for something in particular, take her out to the movies? Get her a little something. When a friend of mine is upset I'll get together with my friends and well go out..maybe party..maybe a movie or just crus'n I'll treat him like every things ok, laugh have fun. Makes them forget for a little awhile whats wrong, a respite from whats bothering her. Be happy and share with it her.
It would have also helped if I knew how old she was. Making a 9yr. old happy is prolly easier than say a 15yr. old happy.

Keep her distracted with things that she enjoys and just be there if she needs to talk.
She'll come around it'll take time.. do things with her and include her in things.. the worst that can happen now is for her to feel excluded and isolated. If she hasnt seen a doctor she needs to take meds for her depression thats the best being there will help but she does need a mental heath doctor
try tellin her that ur here for her and if she wants too talk about anything tell your sister you can help what ever it is it'l make her feel good an that your there for her xx tasha xx
Give Her Something She Likes. Something she really likes so much.
this question is for a psychiatrist blind fold her, so she can't tell she's in hell. & play elevator music & talk about shopping
show her yr love and care, and bring her to see more pity people, then she will finally reliase that actually she are consider fortunate copared to others.
Please get her some professional help. You probably can't help her yourself (and it is not your fault or responsibility). Get her to talk to someone. Depression is a serious matter.
Try to show her that anyone goes through this kind of trubbles and that she has to go on. try not to leave her alone and to make her laugh. still, if this goes on for a long time, I suggest seing a doctor. She sounds like she is really down and I was wondering if she had gone to see her GP? Many people will say that anti-depressants are not the answer but I have been where you sister is and it does feel like hell. Her doctor could prescribe some low dose anti-depressants and get her some good counselling (cognitive therapy would be the best for her) and these two things combined will change her life around. Like I say I have been there and feel for her. She may not have the strength inside her to so this and you may have to push her. She will thank you for helping her in time. She may try to make you feel like the wicked sister who is pushing her around and you might even feel like this yourself. Believe me, when you are depressed you feel like you can't be bothered to do anything because you feel like nothing you can do could possibly make any difference. Without my husbands constant help and encouragement, I know that I wouldn't be the person I am today. She needs help and she is lucky enough to have a sister like you who wants to help her.
I wish you all the luck in the world.
Go to the fabric store and buy a couple of cut offs. then start sowing them together with a needle and thread finally put on a fantastic puppet show with characters named faberto and nania. the plot to the show has to be about happy rabbits living in burrows Have someone make and take her a snack big enough for 2 people. Have them eat it with her so that they can see she eats her share. Do this 2 times a day, in addition to regular meals.
These snacks should have protein (poultry and fish are best, unless you are a vegetarian and then soy is very good), low glycemic carbohydrates (look up a glycemic index or use apples) and good fat (olive oil for cooking, almonds or peanuts for snacking). This is good for the depressed person in two ways, that someone wants their company, and that they are getting food that helps level their blood sugar. Low blood sugar may be part fo the cause of the depression.
