Difficult 10 year old - need advice

My eldest DD has always been a complex enough kid , but overall has generally been happy, close, loving etc.

Now that she is 10 that is all changing and I am quite aware that his is natural. However, I am wondering how far I should allow her push things with me.
At the moment she is constantly rude, doesnt want to do anything and if she is 'forced' to do anything (swimming lessons) she kicks up murder and literally all day will complain escalating to 'I hate you' etc

I am wondering at which point I push back? I read posts from parents on here about their kids cursing and screaming at them regularly (any teen can do it a couple of times) and I wonder is this how it starts.

Any advice from Mums who have been through this would be really appreciated.

My daughter is becoming like this as well, reading other moms going through the same thing,
she is amazing and funny at times then a few times a mth she is nasty and it stays for a few days then gets better.
I almost feel like its hormones?
