    Those are pretty good! I'm 21, but still live at home as I study from home. My income doesn't bring enough to actually move out as I have to save everything for books, so until I get a full time job I'm either stuck here or on the street. (no my parents aren't paying for my studies)
    21 is tough; old enough to make your own highly informed decisions but young enough to not have full financial independence. I lived at home until just before 22, so I feel for you. Good for you for not rising to their bait. I've thought of another thing you can do. Any time anyone is hassling you for whatever reason, smile at them and give them a genuine compliment.

    Parent: You're becoming anorexic, obsessing over that food scale!
    You: *smile* I really like your hair today. It really frames your face.

    It's hard for people to be nasty and judgmental when you disarm them with kindness.
