There is never a right time to kill yourself from any kind of bullying. You must stand up against the bully and keep reporting them to the authorities where it is happening.
You are better than any bully, you just need to accept this for yourself. Bullies have problems in their lives that cause them to behave the way they are. They may be being bullied themselves or having an abusive upbringing. There are many reasons for it. They need help and support, just as much as you do as the victim. Just make sure you tell others about what they are doing and never accept what the bully tells you. If you report what is happening then it will stop. Sometimes you just need to keep reporting it before people take better notice.
Good luck with this and have a happy life once this awful phase has been sorted.

How do you help someone who wants to kill himself if he's your dad?
The same way you might help anyone in this position; hand them a knife. This will quickly illuminate that they do not really want to kill themselves, but are seeking attention. Then some progress might be made in adjusting the person's point of view to hopefully be a bit more conscious. This surely seems harsh; but then so is suicide.
Your dad would do best to go volunteer somewhere helping others in need; but he must see this for himself. If he has a soft spot for children, for example, a trip to an orphanage might be in order. His frustration is well understood, and even shared; the cure is to do something different; anything that pulls your father's gaze up from his navel will suffice.

Please talk to a counselor about your problems, nothing is bad enough to be worth taking your own life.
If you are at the point where you really feel it's better to die than to go on living, then you have hit bottom, and once you hit bottom, there's really no place else to go but up. So what have you got to lose by staying for the ride back up? You have far, far more to gain by going up, and absolutely nothing to lose by taking that trip back up, to the place where your life can be happy and fulfilling.
If your life is at a place where suicide seems better than going on, think about some very important things. Life can turn from horrible to wonderful in a very short period of time. Your life, whether you know it today or not, has a positive impact on someone. It might be your family, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors... there is someone that knows you in a way that you can't see.
Suicide is permanent... there's no turning back. The deep feelings you have today will be different tomorrow; regardless of how down you feel, you'll have something tomorrow that can, if you let it, make you feel better. Our problems are often so great, so real and feel so devastating that leaving life behind seems like the only answer. But it's not an answer. It leaves many, many questions for anyone we leave.
Please sleep. Please cry hard, if you must, and talk to someone who loves you. But please, also, put the idea of making a permanent end to what could be temporary problems out of your head. Every life has purpose. Every single life. Please try to find yours before thinking about killing yourself.
No matter how bad it is right now, it can only get better- when you are down try doing something nice for someone else. It sounds a little lame but it works, scientifically it's called a helper's high. It gets your mind off depressing things and helps you add value to society and confidence for yourself.
Suicide is illegal in many countries (WikiAnswers cannot facilitate the commission of any crime) and besides we care about you and want you to live.

Another answer could be to know that such thoughts are not at all uncommon. Pretty much everyone has thought about suicide. The problem arises if you choose to act upon it. If you are near that point, then there are a few things you can do.
If you're seriously considering killing yourself, you're in an interesting position. Nearly anything you do could be temporary. So calling friends and discussing this is more open to you than it might be otherwise. Try that! Chat with strangers... talk to Anyone who will listen.
You can often hope to offset thoughts of killing yourself with contact with others. Reach out and see if it helps.
