If you're really talking about children, that's not statutory rape, it's actual rape. Children cannot consent to sex, and those who say they do are shown to have experienced psychological harm. If we are talking about consenting sex between sexually mature teenagers then no, obviously that is not rape.
"Sexual intercourse with a person who has not yet reached the age of consent (determined by state law), whether or not the sexual act is against that person's will." That is the definition of statutory rape. Whether adult to child, or child to child, it still applies. What if it's an underage horny teenager who had sex with their step-guardian and the whole thing was the teenager's decision? In this case, the teenager was not harmed, but instead had a great time.
