If it were me, I'd communicate with them how their comments affected me / made me feel and then tell them what I need / don't need from them (all in a civil way). Then if my friends continued to talk this way after I set the boundary, then I'd consider taking action like what you're describing.

Ps: I understand your aggravation w comments like that. I'd likely feel that way too if ppl were pressuring me to do stuff I wasn't ready for yet.
