I have a 10 week old black lab/german sheperd mix puppy, she is very aggresive, everytime I try to play with her she bites me and even if I say ouch!! she doesnt stops! She just doesnt again, when I get up and ignore her, she jumps on me!

It's not so much that the dog is aggressive. It's that she's a puppy and doesn't know her own strength. She doesn't know what the word 'ow' means. If she bites you, smack her on the nose and tell her "NO" sternly.
She's just testing her boundaries. Take her to puppy classes. They really help.
Make sure she has had ALL of her puppy shots (Distemper/Parvo is a series of 4 injections 3 weeks apart from each injection, Bordetella (aka Kennel Cough), Fecal exam, physical exam and start her on MONTHLY flea and heartworm prevention that is recommended by your vet).

I heard this in my science class. My teacher said that before you buy a dog to make sure to ask the owner if you could see the dogs parents and know where they came from if they were breaded from the same family than your dog must have mutated. Google mutation and you'll know what i mean because i can't really explain it.
Mutation- The changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes
Mutating-Change or cause to change in form or nature

You need to take her to puppy school or this won't be resolved. They'll straighten your dog out and show you how to establish that you're in control and that she isn't. Right now, she's running the show and much like a little kid is testing you and boundaries big time.
Unfortunately, you don't know how to deal with this yet and that's okay. Thank goodness there are trainers who specialize in this and will bounce that behavior out of her. If all he tips and books and vet's ideas don't work you have to call in a no-nonsense trainer who has worked with both breeds she's crossed with.
If you got her from a breeder than you can call them and ask what they do to curb the behavior in the dogs and see if that can negate calling in someone who is expensive as I'm sure they'll show you some techniques as most competent ones would.
