  Hi christinegyro,

  All you need to do is disable comments for that page. Just follow the directions found on https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/ to remove the reply area on your About page.

  Let me know how it goes!

  All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. Your visitors click the post tiles or the comment links or comment bubbles on the front page of the blog and they are directed to the full post appearing on it’s own page where the comment boxes appear at the end of the posts.

  You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Important Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  I don’t want to disable comments on my posts, I just want to take the reply box that is on my About Page off of the page. It’s not on any of my other pages. I don’t know why it’s on my About Page??

  Sure! Please head over to https://gyrotonicsanluisobispo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit and scroll down to your Discussion module. You will see “Allow comments.” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.” Uncheck the boxes and then Update your post.

  Making this change will remove the reply area from your About page.

  There is no module box on the page that says Allow Comments or Allow trackbacks…etc on the page? No boxes to check?

  Your Discussion module is likely hidden from view. Edit the page again, locate Screen Options in the upper right corner of your Dashboard and click on it so the drop down will appear.

  Check on the Discussion option, the module should appear below and that should allow you to take care of that reply area.
