My younger sister feels she's misunderstood and it shows. What should she do?

She doesn't feel she can talk to any body about her problems. And at recess (She's in 5th grade) she goes to the highest hill and just sits looking in the horizon for the whole recess. she's very intelling, sensitive and deep. She emotionly gets hurt often and just pretends she doesn't care while blinking away tears. What can/should do to help her?

Answers:
I know how she feels to feel like she is misunderstood and to have to sit there alone and blink away your tears. Believe it hurts. Try to comfort her, letting her know that she is loved and there is someone there for her. Be there for her to have someone just to vent to, to let someone know how she feels. Even if you don't understand. Sit and listen and hold her. Wipe away the tears reassuring her that you are there for her. And if she needs any one to talk to that you are there.Me and my youngest sister are close. And when ever we both are going through something we call each other we help each other. She gets me through my tear drops, my hurt, and my pain. And when I can't reach her I write my feelings down. But try to be your sisters rock. She really needs you there. And you might need her one day too.

Call the guidence counceling office at her school, tell them what you just told us, and have them make an appointment to speak with her- they are professionals and it's free , take advantage of it.
Mention this to your parents. Also, talk to her. Tell her you care.
Since you are her older sister and you know whats going on, Offer to help her in anyway and always let her know you are there for her. My sister is 10 and even though she live 3000 miles away, she KNOWS she can call me ANYTIME for ANYTHING. Let her KNOW she can talk to you. What else are big sisters for?
Hug her.
Tell her she is misunderstood. Tell her it hurts to be misunderstood. Ask her what she thinks would help overcome being misunderstood. Ask her to tell you whenever she thinks you misunderstand her AND to promise to work through the misunderstanding. Too often we use the feeling as an excuse to avoid the work. When she learns the skills from you: repeat, I hear you say, It hurts when. then she can choose one or two others to work etc.
You should tell her not to worry about what other people think or she will go through her entire life feeling insecure which could lead to many more problems.
Your sister is in thee 5th grade what problems does she have? This taken into account some girls, and boys at this age have a hard time adjusting to the "tween" years,try to spend some time with her and be receptive to her moods, this is a age where you are still playing with dolls one minute and wanting to date a boyfriend the next. Since she likes to have time alone maybe helping her find a creative hobby would help, drawing, writing, or photography since she spends time outdoors. This would help her self-confidence which all people need.
wow. i think she does need help. try to make her see that shes like everyone else. take her somewhere where little kids like to go..try to find her a friend. tell her that you love her.

and she probably should see counceling too.
Well, she needs an outlet to get all those thoughts and feelings out.
Get her The Step. They sell it at Walmart and Target.
When she wakes up, step up and down for 5-15 minutes.
And again before she goes to bed for 5-15 minutes.
Exercise increases all the feel-good emotions in the body.
After a while, she will be too happy to be upset about anything.
I exercise every day. I use to fight depression each day. Now every day is a GREAT day, not matter what happens.
It is weird to feel like this every day, but it is GREAT!
