I don't know where am i wrong. I print so many times but just not right. Where am I wrong?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
   items_list = []
  print("Add your new item: ")
  print('Enter the "STOP" to stop add')

  while True:
    new_item = input("< ")
    if new_item == "STOP":
      break
  items_list.append(new_item)
  print("Here is your list: ")

  for items in items_list:
    print(items)

This challenge is about creating a function that accepts an iterable as an argument then loops over that argument print the items until a "STOP" is reached. There isn't a need to interactively prompt the user for input. Removing the interactive parts from your code, and changing the while loop to a for loop, and fixing the indentation gives the following passing code. 

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    # items_list = []
    # print("Add your new item: ")
    # print('Enter the "STOP" to stop add')

    # while True:
    #    new_item = input("< ")
    for new_item in items:
        if new_item == "STOP":
            break
        # items_list.append(new_item)
        # print("Here is your list: ")

        # for items in items_list:
        print(new_item)
