not getting involved

I live in chaos right now. I have a group of friends and we are have the same friends. I live in a small town where if you say one thing about something or someone, it can get back to that person, which sucks. Everybody knows everybody and knows what goes on in their lives. I feel like i dont have my privacy. I'm not in high school anymore, havent been for a few years now, and yet i'm still caught up in stupid drama. I have friends who get mad at other friends, or one of my friends parents doesnt like the other, i tell my self not to get involve but some how i get involved. Once again i live in a small town so i'm pretty much stuck here.  I have a friend who has cops at her house every now, and then. Her mom has kicked her out and has locked the door, i took her in which i didnt mind doing, i do anything for my friends. That same friend almost got her self killed by not watching the road and ended up under a semi. How does that happen? I was friends with a girl who was talking about me, claiming she was making a joke but the so called joke, i didnt find it funny. I dont want to be around this drama town, its one thing to be in high school but i'm an adult whose trying to find what she wants and make her self a living, its getting old. I dont want to hurt people s feelings , even if its people i dont know.
