I do not know what is wrong?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for items in loopy:
        print(items)
    if:
        items == "STOP"

the syntax should look like this:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        print(item)
    if items == "STOP":
        break

In order to pass the challenge it needs to look like this:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items: 
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        else:
            print(item)
