They all sound perfectly natural to me.
For the second sentence, it does not matter if you say “I used to disappear for hours when I was their age” or “when I was their age, I used to disappear for hours”. The meaning is the same.
For the third sentence, “when I was in school” references the time frame of when they went to school, say up until late teens. They are not saying they were physically in school when they snuck out of the house.
All 3 sentences are correct and natural.

The sentence on the top sounds good . When you said “ When I was your age , I studied very hard. And the second sentence you had switched around Alittle bit so the second sentence would sound better if you have said “ I used to disappear for hours when I was there /their age. “
And the last sentence doesn’t make sense but your doing good keep up the good work 👍 good luck on your English
