Helps with breaks.py Objective 2: Adding a "break" code block

I'm unsure how to proceed with this problem. If someone could explain how to add a code block that exits i.e. breaks out of a function.. that would be helpful. He also asks for us to add a for loop to a function which is quite confusing to me. If someone could walk me through the logic of this code challenge I would greatly appreciate it!

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    if items == "STOP":
        break
    else:
        continue 
    for things in items:
        print(things)
