There are some great online sources of information about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church), which are provided below under "Related Links". The Church has a big focus on teens and young adults, and spends a lot of time and money in providing activities, resources, and opportunities for them.
Some quick facts are:
There are almost 14 million baptized members of the Church worldwide, about 40% of that number live in the United States.
Church members believe that the Church is a restoration of the original New Testament Christian Church.
The Church places a central focus on individuals having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God the Father.
Church members strive to live in a way that brings them closer to becoming like Jesus. This means they believe in healthy living habits, hard work, honesty, chastity, modesty, charity, and service.
Church members tend to be very friendly and open to sharing their beliefs with others.
Church members believe that there is a modern prophet who receives revelations from God, and every member of the Church is entitled to receive personal revelation.
Most Mormon men hold the priesthood, which means they are authorized to baptize, bless, and perform other ordinances within the Church.
Mormons believe in providing a way to salvation for all mankind. For this purpose, they have a huge missionary effort. They also perform baptisms for those who have died. They believe that this gives the dead person the opportunity to accept or reject the baptism, Jesus Christ, and salvation before the final judgment.

Why do Mormons think that a person is insulting their religion or persecuting them when the person simply disagrees with LDS doctrine?
It probably depends on how you present it. If you engage in a lively debate, with give and take and an open mind, people are unlikely to be offended. If, however, you get your facts wrong or insult the church, most Mormons will get defensive. Our belief systems encompass our lives, and they matter to us. Insulting everything we believe in is likely to get a negative reaction. Probably also because Mormons have been taught that they are Christians and that their faith is the only trrue faith and all others are false, so that they do not realize that this is not factually correct. They see this then as an insult when Christians point out to them that they must be Christian in fact before they claim the name. And so, Mormons seem to get offended when simple facts are presented, even the facts of their own teaching and contrasted with what Christians have always believed. Perhaps Mormons need to look at the facts and not assume that persons are persecuting or insulting them. To say that Mormons are not Christian does not necessarily mean they are bad people, just that they give themselves a wrong name. Please note that the above does not imply at all that Mormons are bad people or that people who make this assertion have not met and conversed at length with Mormons or studied Mormon theology in detail.
