How can I identify positive role models for my teens?

Getting Teens to Cooperate

If your teenager complains that you are asking her to do too many things, then reply, "If I can't ask you to do things for me, you can't ask me to do things for you." After a while, the teen will become aware that she's getting the short end of the deal and that you do more for her than she realized. Be ready to cooperate once your teen becomes enlightened.
