My six year old sister was playing with a knife once. I asked why and she said she wanted to hurt herself. After that, she said she never wanted to go outside again. Is she depressed? Is she too young? I feel worried but not sure what to do.

It sounds like something happened. Did she have an encounter with someone maybe? She is still very little. A gentle conversation might reveal what's going on.
I wish you all the best Armygirl

Just if something happened that upset her in some way.

Oh. That could be exceptionally traumatic for a six-year-old. I know from personal experience...

Yeah, I just didn't think she'd say she wants to hurt herself.
