Need help with Loopy code challenge

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if items[0] == 'a':
            continue
        else:
            print(items)

I am not sure why this is not passing, It is saying that the right items are not printing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if items[0] =='a':
            continue
        else:
            print(items)

The challenge asks you to continue if the object at index 0 of the current item is "a". Your code is checking if the object at index 0 of all the items is 0. Your code has the same problem in the print statement at the bottom. If you change items to item (the variable of the for loop that changes each iteration) in the condition and the print statement, your code should pass
