Python: Using Breaks

What am I missing? The exercise is just asking me to break when 'STOP' occurs in the list. I was assuming it was already added. Perhaps not? What am I missing?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for things in items:
        print(things)
    if things == "STOP":
        break

Hi Skyler,

If u put the 'if statement' after the print it will be no exception, it will print out everythin what is in items including the 'STOP' word. the if statement it should filter out the unwanted string and the loop should break when it hits the "STOP", even if is the first word in the list.

I hope this helps
