"Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," she wrote. "If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it."
"I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've #retired," she added.

Bynes -- whose latest film, Easy A, hits theaters this fall -- added, "I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been a part of. I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play."
Just last Tuesday, she Twittered that her idols are "Marilyn Monroe (RIP) and Angelina Jolie."

102i was watching that movie big fat lair, and there was one young beautiful girl in this movie i didn't know who it was but i had the felling that she is going to be something in futur.she was so atractive to make me waiting be for the movie to finshed and read her name then i found out that her nameis amanda byne,i google her name and the 1st thing i found out that she is retires.wowww,just goodluck if that what you realy want and dont listen to what people say just do what you want to do
She said that she unretired! Even check her Twitter!
aww thats so sad she is so cute and funny :) and all you people saying that she sucks, shut up cuz she def has a million times more talent than you have. and whoever said that she's gonna fail in the real world ( i dont remember who it was who said that), she's is smart adn educated, so she will succeed. and she still has $$...all those years of axting, since she was like 13 years old...it cant't be all gone, so she's still good. so, my point is, i
That's the one way of maturing. Maybe she's aiming for a college education and look for a real job. Thank god that Amanda Bynes is no Lindsay Lohan. Amanda is a great role model for both boys and girls. The reason why you like her because she wasn't a Disney girl. I'm sick and tired of Disney starlets going wild. I had a crush on her when I was a teenager and she is still my girl!!! I want to meet her someday!!! She is so sexy and I love her!!!
Yeah, and as soon as this girl's money runs out and she finds out what the REAL world is like, she'll be back crying, trying to get acting gigs. Good riddence. And to say, I've never seen anything she is in anyway, and couldn't say who she even is. So, girly, people won't miss you, we don't even know who you are OR what you did. Nothing listed is anything I've ever heard of or seen.
is too bad that she retires..but Amanda is smart to get to out of the rat race by the way I found a website that give you prizes for your opinions and 4 play games here is the topic about Amanda: opinion.EZWINGAME.kom/topics/can-you-believe-actress-amanda-bynes-retired-at-24
