Name and describe the three major stages of the general adaptation syndrome

What will be an ideal response?

The first stage, the alarm and mobilization stage, occurs when adolescents first become aware of a stressor that is
afflicting them. The second stage, resistance, occurs when initial efforts to deal with the stressor are inadequate and
the stressor persists. In this stage, the adolescent tries to cope with the stressor and resists the stressor. The third
stage, exhaustion, happens when resistance is insufficient or fails. In this stage, the negative consequence of stress
(such as illness) occur due to inadequate coping.
