Lucien Freud
(older teen to adult flash forward) UK artist made several paintings of daughter Esther. She wrote the novel "Summer at Gaglow" about the experience of a daughter being painted by her father. "Sometimes while my father painted I stared up at the huge beast of my body, my gargantuan breasts, my widened thighs, and tried to find the charcoal outline of my former self." Initially she had been delighted when he asked her to model for him as it meant he wanted her to be a part of his life. But the results were not entirely pleasing to her 16-year-old self: "I had an idea of myself as gorgeous and fawn-like and when I saw how large and fat he had painted me I said to him "I'm not that big am I?" But later on I came to realise that he was painting my big personality - who I was, and not just a representation of what I looked like."

(male growth FF/TF/AP CB) Arthur H. D. Acland, 1919. A servant boy grows up fast. Portions of the text can be read at Google Books.
p14:
when the man turned and ran out of the room John noticed ... that the stranger's coat had evidently been torn right down the back from the collar to the skirt!
p16:
A nice-looking, cheerful boy came running out...
p53:
What could Johnnie mean by "It's growing"? and then the thought of the moon slipped into his mind.
p64:
He lay back again sleepily on his pillow, watching the boy with half-closed eyes. Then it struck him how very quickly boys do grow for there was no doubt about it, the boy's trousers seemed to be getting very short for him; so short did they look that John Lang wondered he had never noticed it before.
p65:
As he left John Lang, watching him still, thought he had not noticed before that the boy's head came so high as it now did against the door-frame.
"How fast boys do grow!" he thought, as he shook himself together and began to get up. The thought of Johnnie's height did not occupy him long.
p67:
JOHNNIE'S NEW CLOTHES
John was really angry now, and was insisting on an answer to his question, when there came a sudden noise of tearing and of ripping of cloth as if someone's clothes were all coming to pieces with violence! What was happening? Why, simply that! The boy's clothes had all burst at the seams with violence and were coming to pieces, and were falling off him in strips, while the buttons were flying all over the place. One of them actually hit John Lang in the eye. It was most unpleasant.
"Tut, tut!" said Johnnie, "I'm afraid you will be annoyed!"
p68:
Annoyed?" cried John, mopping his injured eye "annoyed!" The word seemed to him to be hardly strong enough.
"But," said the boy, "what are you going to do?"
"Do?" shouted John Lang "do?" Again the word did not please him.
"Yes, do," said Johnnie. "I can't go about like this."
"No, indeed!" That was quite evident, but John Lang did not in the least know what he or anyone could "do" under such circumstances.
But Johnnie knew, and, indeed, had his plan quite ready. He must, he said, for the moment, wear a suit of John Lang's clothes, and they must then go down to the tailor's, that he might be measured for some new clothes of his own.
p69:
So John Lang and the great tall boy Johnnie set out cheerfully enough, ...
p71:
we must follow our two friends to the tailor's shop where Johnnie was to be measured for new clothes.
p83:
So here was more trouble! Johnnie again far too big for his clothes, washstand smashed, bed broken to pieces. John Lang began to feel quite anxious about money affairs. For not only were there new things to buy, but Johnnie 's appetite had increased with his size!
p90:
For a time he felt most thoroughly puzzled. Puzzled and, compared to Johnnie, very small. For at each full moon Johnnie grew taller, and taller ! and broader, and broader! But never for one moment did John Lang lose courage.
p99:
Johnnie's head appeared at the window and his huge hands reached up...

"The Bad Brother"
"Our mother has gone down in the water; I can't see her!" cried the little sister, and she fell on the ground and screamed. She cried all day, cried herself to sleep. The next morning, the brother shot an arrow into her leg. "Get up! You are a young woman now. You must go and hire somebody to sing for you, so you can dance your maturity
dance. You must dance five nights without sleeping."
The girl started; with each step she took she grew a little taller. When she got to the spring, she was a young woman. She was covered with red bark. She drank water from the spring, then stood in the low grass and waited.

(accelerated growth AP, preteen TF abilities) John Passarella.
p49:
Karen Glazer sat in an uncomfortable hospital chair, staring at her amazing little daughter, too big and yet too small all at the same time.
...one would never know what she'd been through in the two-plus years since her birth.
p50:
"...they'll never find anything Art. What's the point?
Science and medicine haven't caught up...
Of course she was talking about Hannah's rapid aging and physical development...
p113:
I visualize Hannah shining a supernatural mirror back on her future self and the Crone is the image that bounces back to our time.
p118:
While not overly modest about nudity, Abby was embarrassed by the idea of anyone watching her transform from wolf to girl or vice versa. No doubt she remembered his disturbed reaction when he'd witnessed a partial change - hand to paw. With his back turned, he heard the unsettling array of sounds involved in her transformation without any visual context, which was enough to open a dark door in his imagination. After a few moments of squishing, cracking, and muffled crunching, combined with Abby's short moans and grunts of effort, the sheriff squeezed his eyes shut, as if that could somehow lessen the enormity of what was happening a few yards behind him.
"All done," she said. "You can toss me my clothes now."
The sheriff turned a bit, enough to see her squatting with the blanket wrapped around her naked, shivering body, clutched to her throat. He tossed the plastic bag of clothes at her feet and averted his gaze while she dressed herself.
Without the insulating wolf fur, she was vulnerable to cold, just like a normal girl.
p152:
...this reactivated spell somehow affected Hannah and Kyla?
p210:
By the calendar, Hannah was just over two years old, but physically and mentally she seemed ready for second grade.
Other children just wouldn't understand or accept Hannah, for...
p211:
...whom the phrase "growth spurt" was an understatement.
Sometimes it seemed to Karen that she could measure Hannah's height before breakfast and by bedtime detect a noticeable change. Her child's mental development was as impressive. Whatever class she was placed in would soon fall behind her. A teacher in a busy classroom would never give Hannah all the attention she required to stay interested. Yet new clothes and new lessons were minor problems.
Life would be so much simpler if they could just slow Hannah down to normal. Though medical science was unable to stop Hannah's accelerated growth, Karen hoped that Wendy would someday find the secret spell Rebecca Hutchins had placed...
p351:
Alex was accustomed to keeping Wendy's and Windale's secrets. Abby's secret shape-shifting life probably seemed one more aspect of that.
Abby looked like a girl trying on her mother's clothes, pretending to be a grown-up. Would a ten-year-old girl who can turn into a wolf or a hawk have the slightest fascination with high heels and lipstick?
"You won't think I'm a freak, like the kids at my school would, if they knew."
"I've been trying to shift into a bird for like, forever," Abby said, with an appropriate but unconscious flapping of her big sleeved arms to accompany her enthusiasm. "First, I tried forcing the change, making wings and feathers. Ugh, what a mess! Almost turned myself into a pretzel, instead of a bird."

Legend of the Teenage Sages, The
(AP AA, male AP AA) Jacob Cortez.
"Hey, I was thinking guys..." said Becca, "what if we had the power to make our costumes immediately appear on us but also make us look a few years older?"
"You can do that?" asked Mike, taken aback. "But why would we want to look older?"
"Well, some people out there might not take us seriously because we're younger. But, if we could seem to be more mature teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen, they couldn't dismiss us so easily."
"Would we be able to go back to our normal selves?" asked Toni concerned.
"Definitely," said Becca. "I mean it would be tough to explain at school why we all suddenly look so much older. Besides, I'm enjoying my young teenage years."
"What if our parents find out? How could we possibly explain when..."
p77: "So, not only are we sages, but mutants too, in a way," said Becca.
"Well," said Toni, "I want to see what my costume looks like."
"I almost forgot," said Becca. "Let me see the drawings, Jake." "Okay," she said with a smile, "not bad. I'm sure they'll look better once we're in them. Let's give it a shot!"
Becca lined them up across the room, giving each one an appraising look. She began to glow and then snapped her fingers at each of them in turn. The teens looked each other up and down with amazement as they began to morph slowly into older forms of themselves.
Jake studied the expressions on the others' faces. "I guess you like them then?"
"Oh yeah," the others all agreed enthusiastically.
Mike was now taller and more muscular than before, with a short black beard.
Mike's long dark hair hung down just past his muscular shoulders, allowing his tattoo and amber stone to still be visible.
Becca pushed him gently to one side so she could see herself, too.
She was also a lot taller, and her hair was longer and a brighter gold.
"Hmm...not too shabby" she said softly as she turned from side to side.
Toni was taller too, but not as tall as the others. Her baby fat had finally turned to sleek, strong muscle. She had darker, longer, hair and wore a long, royal blue silk hooded cloak.
Under the cloak, she wore a shiny black bodysuit of form-fitting leather.
....she pushed the others out of the way to twirl in front of the mirror...
"I said I would grow out of the awkward puppy stage! Too cool, Becca!"
Jake was now taller than ever, and had longer brown hair down to his shoulders. He was just as muscular as Mike and had a short beard in dark brown flecked with blond.
The rest of the teens beamed at Becca, and she blushed. They couldn't believe how different they looked.

Interregnum in Fairyland, The
(growth TF) From the book "Miss Armstrong's and Other Circumstances", John Davidson, 1896. 7 year old girl breaks out of cage with rapid growth spurt. "The Interregnum in Fairyland" p.244
'Whoever you are, I've caught you nicely.'
Harolda was on the point of fainting with terror when she remembered her vial. She sniffed and took a drop of the Aroma of Life, and recovered her courage at once.
The extraordinary sense of expansion, both of body and mind, became so pleasant with the continuous smelling and tasting of the aroma, that at last, beside herself with delight, she drank off half the vial. Then a marvel took place, such as Harolda had never heard or read of: she began to grow, sensibly and visibly; all her limbs, her body, her neck, her head, shot up and filled out, like some flower an eastern enchanter causes to spring and blossom in a minute.
She had no growing pains, but it seemed as if her nerves and muscles twanged as they extended with her body, as the blood sang in all her veins. In a few minutes her head struck the roof of the cage. Faint and afraid, she bent herself at first, but after drinking the rest of the vial she stood erect again, happy and confident. Sure enough, her head burst through the iron bars of the cage; and, in a little while, as a butterfly breaks its chrysalis, she stepped out of it altogether - a wonderful creature, taller than women are, more wonderfully shaped, and much more beautiful to behold. Her dress also had changed, and she now wore purple robes of the finest texture, embroidered with gold; she had on golden sandals, and her belt and satchel had grown with her growth.
Declarabol shrieked, starting up, when he saw the cage in ruins.
He beheld Harolda standing majestic, beautiful, and fearless in the midst of the cave, threw up his hands, and fell to the floor a gibbering idiot. Harolda looked at him in disgust for a second or two; then she unbarred the door and went out into the forest. She wanted to shout, she wanted to laugh, she wanted to sing; but the spell was on her, and she could utter no sound of any kind.

Finding herself much shorter than expected, she gasps as she sees her little legs and the way she swims in her nightshirt. She raises her arms in front of her, and screams when she realizes the sleeves are half empty. She frantically rolls up her sleeves, revealing her tiny arms and hands. She rushes to the dresser mirror and jumps up and down to get a better look at herself. "Okay okay I'm having a nightmare." She goes back to sleep, and falls out of bed again. She pinches herself and slaps herself in the face. Finally, she accepts the truth: she's been cursed.
Now calling herself Mandy after her own niece, the fab fashionista is forced to live life as a child again. Quitting smoking and black coffee, restoring the image of her cheating fiance (and client) and keeping her mani pedi intact are just a few of the things that make being 7 oh so difficult. She spends the movie looking for a magic necklace that will let her grow back up:

Mandy screams. Panicked, she jumps up.
Gracie: It took hours last time.

Robert Burns
(UC scene) "Tam o' Shanter" 1791. Tam happens upon a witches' ceilidh. A particularly beautiful young witch named Nannie, "ae winsome wench and wawlie" wears a nightshirt which fitted her as a child, but is now rather too short for her:
***
Her cutty sark [nightshirt], o' Paisley harn [linen],
That while a lassie she had worn,
In longtitude tho' sorely scanty,
It was her best, and she was vauntie [joyous, boasting].
Ah! little kend [knew] thy reverend grannie
That sark she coft [bought] for her wee Nannie
Wi' twa [two] pund Scots ('twas a' her riches)
Wad ever graced a dance of witches!
***
Tam is so enthralled by the erotic spectacle that he cannot contain himself, and yells out "Weel done, Cutty-sark!" The witches pursue him. Tam makes it across the bridge to safety, but not before Nannie has torn the tail from his horse. The poem ends ironically with a mock warning to all men of the devilish consequences of thinking about scantily-clad females.

I remember seeing the tv ad around Christmas 1993/1994. A boy is outgrowing his clothes. The commentator starts "What are you getting for (kid's name) for Christmas, he's growing by leaps and bounds"? The commercial ends with the kid dancing. Suddenly he hears his pants rip. Slogan: "You've got questions, We've got answers". It is a very, very difficult vid to find. (derydan)

(excellent blurry APed CB glimpse, male AP, old age, AR RN) ep36, 3.4 "Oh, Grow Up".
The final girl to woman AP UC/CB depiction permitted in the western hemisphere occurs approximately 6 minutes and 11 seconds after the start of the episode. Sitting alone at her desk in Study Hall, where she was teased earlier by the more mature girls, Judy Shepherd is suddenly looking a lot taller. As she puts down her book, it is revealed she now has breasts. She looks at her reflection in the window, and gasps in surprise when she sees she has aged into a teenager with an hourglass figure. Her blue overalls have become much too short and too tight. At some point during the accelerated puberty, her lower hips and upper thighs ripped through the denim, but the straps have held. "What the? ... Oh no!" She sneaks out and steals adult clothes without being detected. Brother Peter grew up in the janitor's closet while being chased by bullies. The siblings continue aging into senior citizens, but revert back in the nick of time. By the start of the next episode, Judy's torn overalls have been replaced with an intact pair.
