Providing the code will help a lot. From the looks of it the word is too big for the area and will go out of it's element.

Possible Solutions:

  1. Make text smaller
  2. Change text
  3. Overflow set to hide
  4. Make element bigger when browser width is small

I think you should enlarge the image width.
