Answer:
be honest: explain why you failed. be upfront about it. but here's the important part: explain what you learned from it. explain why you were able to move on and do well afterwards--let them know that it was a one-time thing and that it isn't going to happen again. everyone is stupid when they're young. everyone has done stupid stupid things that they regret--the people who are interviewing you have done stupid things. they won't judge you for having made a mistake in the past.

what is important is that you are now able to see what went wrong--you can see why you failed those years, and you now know better. that is actually a positive, not a negative. because they will know they can count on you to understand the importance of what you learned, and to be dependable in that area.
hrothgarthegeat's answer is excellent.

You won't find better advice than that.

Best of luck in your interview.
