You should preserve on 4-1. Since you've already done 1-2, you can try killing the Red Dragon (if you got a good bow, over 16 agility and a couple hundred arrows), by positioning yourself at the top of the first tower on the dragon's path and taking pot-shots at his health. It should take at least 10 minutes to kill him.
It will be worth it though, since then you can go back to 1-1 where the red dragon was roosted, and pick up a Purple Flame Shield. This is the second best shield in the game, in terms of Guard Reduction and 100% Damage Reduction, if you level it up all the way to plus 10.
With this shield, it should be a cakewalk to block the skeleton's attacks from 4-1 (except the Black Skeleton attacks, that one you should dodge like mad).
World 4 is the best world to farm for souls early in the game, so you can get a nifty SL boost in it, that will allow you to tackle world 3 in a much easier fashion. Also, the bosses in world 4 are amongst the easiest in the game, so you can finish it quite fast.
If you're still having trouble in world 4, you could ponder trying to complete World 5 first instead. This is because the boss in 5-3 drops an amazing shield which has 100% Magical Damage Reduction, and it's the best shield for this effect.

I already killed the red dragon and have the purple flame shield, just don't have enough strength to use it yet, what should I do with the red dragon's soul? can I just consume it or should I keep it with other demon's souls?? I think I'll give 4-1 a try tomorrow.

Consume it, since it isn't used for any kind of special forging, unlike all other demon's souls. You should do the same when you kill the Blue Dragon.
Try to get at least those 22 Strength needed to equip it then, I recommend that shield for almost any kind of build due to it's usefulness.
