Mormons have many strong values that they try to use to make themselves better people. Some of those are like how they try to dress modestly, and they don't drink like coffee or alcohol, and they try not to date before they are sixteen. But those are just a few.
Mormons are taught to behave as Jesus Christ behaved. That is, keeping Gods commandments, being kind to people, giving service, helping others, not being critical. We are all human though and we are not perfect in all things. We can repent and ask forgiveness for our weaknesses. The trick is, we ourselves need to forgive others or God won't forgive us.
While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) can make their own choices and may behave however they choose, one of the Articles of Faith of the Church describes how a member of the Church is expected to behave. It states:
"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men... If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) live their lives similar to anyone else in their community. They live in regular homes, apartments, and neighborhoods, where their neighbors may or may not be Mormons as well. They drive cars, watch T.V., play Video Games, and enjoy other modern activities. They hold normal jobs - doctors, dentists, sales, business, construction, finance - whatever they want to do. They celebrate most national, local and Christian holidays. They attend public schools, participate in local sports teams, and shop at the same stores as everyone else.
The only differences you may be able to see in the lives of Church members are:
-avoiding alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, coffee, and tea.
-avoid swearing and harsh language
-modest dressing (shorts and skirts to the knees, no sleeveless shirts, etc)
-no tattoos or excessive piercings
-very devoted to Church, spending an average of 4 hours a week in Church meetings.
-pray and read scripture daily
-very involved in family-oriented activities
-avoid shopping, movies, sporting events, and other entertainment on Sunday.

Why are Mormons more concerned about image than about being Christ like?
While it is true that some Mormons are more concerned about image, you will find this with any religion. The teachings of the LDS (Mormon) church teach that you should not be concerned about image but be Christ like and live as Christ would want us to live. There are many Mormons who follow this and try to live Christ like lives and would not care about how the world sees them.

Do Mormons believe in past lives?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that life is eternal - we existed prior to this mortal life and will exist after this mortal life. This is not considered to be multiple lives, but different stages in one life. Mormons believe that all people lived in heaven with God prior to being born on this earth, and that we will return to heaven to live with God again after we die. Mormons do not believe in reincarnation or the idea that you may live multiple lives on earth. The only 'past life' was in heaven with God, and the only 'next life' is in heaven with God (or, for some, in hell with Satan).
