The  Spiderwick Chronicles by Simon Schuster

       In the book Spiderwick Chronicles we learn more about why Jared feels insecure.
His biggest insecurity is that he feels misunderstood because his mother has a negative outlook on everything bad that happens, and thinks that it's always Jared who causes it.

      This idea can be seen in the book when the faerie ties (Jared's and Simon's sister) Mallory's hair to her bed. Finally when she wakes up to a scream,  their mother thinks that it was Jared to tie her hair, because he is known to be the trouble maker, and thinks that he's been acting weird ever since their dad left. In the book it says "'You think a Faerie tied my hair to my bed?' Mallory asked.'Mom thinks you did. She thinks you have been acting weird ever since dad left. Like getting into all those fights at school' ". This evidence shows why Jared's family thinks he always causes trouble. In fact, even when Jared tries to prove that he didn't do it, Mallory believes him but doesn't think that it was the faerie who tied her hair.
