When I scale the page, the text keeps overlapping over each other

I am trying to make a portfolio for an assignment and when I try to make the page window smaller, the text will overlap making it all messy. I once fixed this issue with min-width but I can't seem to fix it this time.

I can't get my head around why it keeps doing it, I am fairly "new" to HTML/CSS and lack the experience to fix this issue, if someone could help me resolve this I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

HTML

<head>
<title>CPD Portfolio - Home</title>
