resultset inside a paragraph tag and the lines are not breaking

Question

strong texti am getting data from my database into the inside of a paragraph tag it is inside a border box but when the data comes from the database it comes as a straightline and the lines do not break. you can see the sentence going out of the border of the box in this image

        <div class="events">

        <ul>

   <%
   String id = request.getParameter("userId");
   String driverName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
   String connectionUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
   String dbName = "javaproject";
   String userId = "root";
   String password = "root";

   try {
   Class.forName(driverName);
   } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
   }

   Connection connection = null;
   Statement statement = null;
   ResultSet resultSet = null;

   try{ 
   connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl+dbName, userId, 
   password);
   statement=connection.createStatement();
   String sql ="SELECT * FROM event";

   resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sql);
   while(resultSet.next()){
    %>
            <li>



             <div class="time" >
                <h2><%=resultSet.getString("day") %><br><span> 
                <%=resultSet.getString("month") %></span></h2>

             </div>
                 <div class="details" >
                    <h3><%=resultSet.getString("title") %></h3>
                    <p >

                    <%=resultSet.getString("description") %>

                    </p>

                    <a href="#">View Details</a>
                </div>

                <div style="clear: both;"></div>
    </li>


<% 
}

} catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
%>

        </ul>

    </div>

you can see there the description going out of bounds when it is called from the database. and the css code
