I am a retired scientist.
I was a college prof for 39 years.
I would be glad to read your brief and evaluate your proposal..

Brian Josephson began to produce original research ideas while he was still an undergraduate, and won the Nobel Prize for physics for work he did when he was only 22 and still a student. So age is no barrier.
However, original thoughts are harder to come by than you might think. And they will only be taken seriously if you get them published in a peer reviewed journal (that is, a journal that publishes papers that are reviewed by other people working on the same or similar ideas).
Josephson now heads a group looking at brain-physics unification and some parapsychology, which shows you can also have quirky original ideas. Though it help if you have already earned your Nobel Prize if you do.

Try contacting people in the field in which you're interested. Find books or papers about your subject area and write to the authors. If you can't find the author's address, you can usually contact them through their publisher. Some of them will blow you off because you're just a kid, but with luck you'll find someone who will discuss your ideas seriously.
If you live near a university, you may be able to contact someone there. They may also have public symposiums where you can talk to some scientists.
If you think you're ready to publish, find out what scientific journals cover your subject area and contact them for submission guidelines. Nature.com is one place to start for that.
Finally (or maybe firstly), if there's a good science teacher at your school, he or she may be able to help you both with developing your theories and contacting scientists.
The first step to winning the Nobel prize is getting published. Keep at it and good luck!

Publish your theories in a refereed journal that scientists regularly read. This will get their attention. Ask your science teacher which particular journal fits your expertise.
