Is it possible for a student in high school to write an original research paper? If yes, can someone help me to guide me? I am interested in Theoretical physics and astrophysics. Sorry if my question is out-of-context or inappropriate. I am just new in this subreddit.

Original? Of course. Publishable? Extremely unlikely if you’re doing this on your own. To write something worth publishing, you need an original idea, a way to support it, and the ability to put it into the context of the current state-of-the-art. That means you need to KNOW the state of the art, which means reading the work people are publishing. Are you reading the current journals on the field - and fully comprehending the work in them? Probably not, since you need the better part of a graduate education to get that far even with a lot of guidance (the education itself). 

I’m glad you’re interested in the field. Try talking to some local professors, or better yet, take their classes and then approach them for more guidance. Build up your math and programming skills in addition. Read some current articles in the field. Do some feee classes through edX. Look for opportunities to get involved in research. Apply to summer internships in physics. There are lots of things out there these days.
