A few questions to get a bit of perspective:

How old are you?
What do you want to study?

but at least once every day I encounter something that bugs me or make me feel bad.
A tip:
Don't do that anymore.

This night for instance, I felt like going to bed just before 11PM, but I couldn't sleep until way past 12PM because of my parents speaking really loud in the room next door. I asked them politely to keep it down or to move their discussion into another room, but they gently refused saying that they don't have to be quiet in their own house.
Do you have considered to wear earplugs?

She tends to stress a lot. I have tried to discuss the matter with her several times, but she gets very defensive every time.
People get defensive when you attack their thought pattern.

And PRIVACY. Privacy.
That is something I do NOT get any of.
How about getting an early riser and doing your meditations while the rest of your family sleeps?
You could probably also get an agreement that nobody of your parents enters your room after 8 o' clock. Get out those earplugs and meditate.

While living with them, there's litterally no privacy for me.
As long as you don't make yourself any privacy that would be the case.

Personal Development isn't about letting yourself be interrupted. Personal Development is about flexibilty.
Freedom isn't something which is out there and which you can find outside of yourself. Freedom comes from within. It is a personal decision.
