What should I do about my little sister?

Ok, so my little 7 year old sister, Danielle, is usually a happy, energetic, talkative little girl. But for about a week now, she has been very quiet, not wanting to do anything, looking sad all day, and not eating good at all (she will take like two bites of her food and then be like, "Mommy, I'm not hungry.") I have a feeling that somewhere deep inside, she is really sad or upset about something. But she says nothing is wrong. We (my family) have all asked her if there was something wrong. She says there is nothing wrong, but I think there is. What can I do? It's really making me worried, and Danielle won't tell anyone what is wrong.

For those of you who pray, even if you don't have any advice about what I can do, can you please pray for my little sister? Thanks

    Try and build a relationship with her first, just you and her, build her trust, and eventually she should tell you. Try your hardest, but don't come accross too pushy, or liek all you want to know is whats wrong. Be her friend first, because she won't just tell you.

    I've seen stories liek this with young girls, they don't end nicely. I shall pray for her....good luck!!!

    Ok, I might get some bashing for this- but it may help. Get your sister alone and talk to her. I went through the same thing when i was her age....and I was being molested. Make sure she knows that she can tell you ANYTHING without fear of getting in trouble. Make sure you put it in kid terms; "has anyone been spending a lot of time with you?", "Has anyone touched the parts that are covered by your bathing suit?", etc. If it is something like that (and i sincerely hope it's not), make sure she knows that nobody is going to get in trouble.
