BTEC Health and Social care coursework help

Hey, I'm in year 13 and I am aiming to get distinctions in the rest of my coursework units in order for my overall grades to go up. But I have one main problem. I do not know how to add detail into my coursework. There are people in my class who write OVER 100 PAGES (I'm not joking) and they get distinctions because they add SO MUCH DETAIL in the assignment. I know writing 100 pages is too much but I want to know how I can add loads of detail in my coursework and write up to a maximum of 60 pages.
Does anyone have advice?
(Barely anyone in my class likes me so that's why I am asking here instead of asking them cause I know that they wont be willing to help me. The reason I know this is because whenever I ask them for help they either mumble or say "I don't know" when they clearly do know)

Hey, I get how stressful this is. Honestly, it can really be rough when it feels like everyone else knows how to make their coursework super detailed and you’re just… stuck. And yeah, people doing 100 pages is wild. You don’t need to hit that to do well.

What usually helps is breaking things down more than you think you need to. If you make a point, add why it matters, an example, and what it leads to. That alone adds depth without turning it into filler. Also, real examples, small case studies, and explaining your thought process go a long way. Teachers love that stuff.

And seriously, don’t beat yourself up about your classmates not helping. That kind of isolation hurts, but it’s not a sign you’re doing anything wrong. You’re trying. That’s what counts.

If you want, you can send me one small part of your coursework, and I’ll show you how to build it out . I’ve got you man.

Thanks for your advice!

I know what I have to write but its just trying to get the motivation to write detail if you know what I mean and how I can phrase it in the correct way the first time so I don't have to rewrite the sentences a bunch of times before my wording is phrased in a way that my teachers can understand.

People in my class sucks, I don't really care what they think about me cause its my life and not theirs but it just gets annoying when I'm stuck and I cant really ask anyone to help me because their attitude towards me is dry.

But yeah, thanks again for your advice mate, I appreciate it
