I'm new to this site and I was wondering if there was any way to root a Samsung Galaxy S4 S975l From Straight Talk. I've never rooted a phone so if anyone know any information please help.

Two downsides - there is a small chance you can brick the phone, and if it's newer you may void the warranty.
The root process is different for every phone, so follow instructions for your specific device. Here is more information about rooting:
