I get cyber-bullied all of the time. Everybody has something negative to say. It is so hurtful. So I think that it is really important for kids to know how to deal with it correctly because it can be a really dangerous situation. – Sammi Hanratty
I started visiting schools and talking to kids about bullying and what to do and how to deal with it. I don’t think that there is one person who has lived life without being bullied. Everybody gets bullied – whether it’s cyber-bullying or to your face or behind your back. – Sammi Hanratty

With movies, you can do a lot more roles a lot faster. My favorite thing about acting is taking on new characters. It’s fun switching it up at times. No matter what, I feel so honored and blessed to be 16 and already living my dream. It’s really special. – Sammi Hanratty
People get so trapped by their technology now. Real life is so much better. I love talking with my mother and father. We really enjoy staying in and making a meal together. I’m very close with all four of my older sisters as well. – Sammi Hanratty
