Well to being off you are writing the same variable for everything. You want the item in items not items in items.

Adding the if statement before the print function will make sure if item == STOP then it won't print and stop.

Indexing is a major part of python and you need to make sure things are properly indented. 

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