Why is my son so mischievous

My son is very mischievous. He has started going to school recently and in the last couple of months every other day I am getting complaints about him not behaving at school. The teacher says that he never sits at his place and keeping troubling other kids in class.
He goes around and snatches others things, pinches them and even fights with them.
I am really scared that if he keeps behaving like this he will never make friends and other kids might not want to come near him. What can be done?
Maybe if your son is going to school for the first time he is not used to sitting at a place. So, for this it would be a good idea to get a study table for him at home and get him into the habit of sitting at his place and doing some job like coloring etc.
I would like to know if your son is the only child and have if ever got him into sharing things. If not get him into the habit of sharing.
This is the first few days/months at school so you have to let your child get used to sitting at a place. Before going to school a child is not at all used to sitting at one place for more than a couple of minutes. Another thing would be that you can ask the teacher to try and keep him busy by asking him to do something like collecting notebook from all classmates etc. etc.
According to me not sitting in place is not something to be worried about. But yes if your child is troubling other kids then that is something you need to correct. Maybe till now your child is not used to being with other kids. Let him know that he needs to be good with others then only he will have friends with whom he can enjoy.
I think the problem may be that your child has been having things for himself and he is not used to being with other kids of his age. So he is not aware of how he is supposed to behave. Why don't you try and invite some of his school classmates at home and try to get him used to being with other kids. At home you can observe his behavior and explain to him what went wrong. I am sure this will help.
He has just started school so do not worry. You can definitely get your things working for your child by telling him how the school is different from home where he has to adjust with kids of his age. And then only he can have many friends to play with.
Ha ha ha I am also searching for an answer for a similar question. If anyone here finds an answer to "Why is my son mischievous? " please forward me.
I have tried many things similar to what has been suggested but nothing seems to work till now. I am waiting for some miracle to happen.
