Help With The Challenge "Continue"

I'm Working On The Challenge "Continue", and with my code below, I keep getting this error, "Bummer! Didn't Find The Right Items Printed!" But I don't see where my code went wrong.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if items.index == 0:
            pass
        else:
            print(item)
